Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • The effect on protected species and biodiversity, having particular regard to Great Crested Newts and bats

What decided it

The proposal would have a significant adverse impact on the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB and would not be supported by sufficient up-to-date ecological information to rule out unacceptable harm to protected species, particularly Great Crested Newts and bats.
