Most of the area lies within Zone B, (2500m) of the South Pennine Moors Special Protection Area, (SPA), and areas on the Eastern edge of Menston are within Zone C (7000m) of the SPA.

The strategic flood risk assessment must include groundwater flood risk. There are known issues with groundwater emergence (see above comments) in the area which may adversely increase flooding downstream and may require novel or complex engineering solutions.

There is no scope for significant growth without breaching other policies.
