Leeds City Council forms a neighbouring authority to the development project insofar as the proposed grid connection route and point of connection is located at Drax in Selby. For this reason and given the substantial geographical distance between Leeds and the main part of the project within East Yorkshire, we do not expect the project to result in any adverse impact of significance on the Leeds district. We note that the applicant has had regard to our pre-application consultation advice which referred to the protection of i) bird migration routes, ii) mineral resources of local and national importance, and iii) private and public aviation interests. For these reasons, Leeds City Council is not likely to provide further comment on the project and will default to the affected host local authorities of North Yorkshire Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to provide expert comments in assisting the examination process.
