If development is allowed it will be important to:
• Conduct a detailed ecological survey to identify the impact of house building on the foraging opportunities for the wader populations associated with the S. Pennine Moor SPA to the south and the hunting range of the local barn owl population in the field to the north-east;
• Protect Coppy beck by creating a wide riparian buffer strip along the entire length of the western boundary;
• Enhance field boundaries by filling in gaps in the hedges and creating wide marginal buffer strips along hedge bottoms to improve wildlife habitat and wildlife movement along the hedgerows;
• Ensure that surface water from this site is managed by the installation of SuDs to prtect Coppy Beck to the west and Town Beck to the north.
