Water voles save 'oasis of wildlife' from developers
Water voles have saved a former allotment site in Batley from being turned into a housing development, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Kirklees Council's seven-member Strategic Planning Committee voted to throw out the proposal for the 8.5 acre site, which had been put forward by Noble Homes.
Among the list of grounds for refusing the scheme was concern for water voles living in the area and how they might be affected by large-scale building work.
The Castleford-based developer's scheme was first mooted in 2016 and drew fierce criticism from local residents.
They said the area was an "oasis of wildlife" providing habitat for bats, water voles and great crested newts.
The authority has now purchased an industrial unit in Gainsborough (pictured) for £6.1m and comes shortly after it invested in a lingerie factory and a hotel.
Since April last year, the council has invested £14m in property and has set aside another £16m for investments.
The authority says it hopes the money invested will help plug a funding gap from the government.
