3.11.6 The HRA does not conclusively state that it is South Pennine Moors, rather than the North pennine Moors, that will suffer from the impact of development at Burley-in-Wharfedale, it merely states a ‘likelyhood’. Neither does the HRA exclude the possibility of functional links to the North Pennine Moors AONB. There is no consideration of a functional link between Burley-in-Wharfedale and the AONB, despite its proximity to the settlement. This needs consideration alongside the impact on the SPA/SAC, particularly given there is a river crossing regularly used by residents and visitors to reach the AONB for recreation.
Menston is roughly equidistant from the AONB and SPA/SAC, so similar considerations apply.
