Possible major threat to Toad Holes Beck…

We, the Low Moor & Oakenshaw Conservation group has been aware that this privately owned area which is directly adjacent to Toad Holes Beck was to be sold. Well the sale has been completed.

Until any information or proposals come forward from the new owners there is little we can do at this stage so this blog is to keep everyone in the loop.

Thankfully we have many important biological records for the Toad Holes Beck area however, the site is vulnerable and we must protect our bio-diversity.

The concern is the comment below: “The site may be suitable for a variety of uses subject to planning permission.”
