National park custodians have postponed a decision over a move designed to consolidate the future of the most popular Yorkshire Dales country show, in a bid to resolve impasse over conserving one of the protected area’s most widely appreciated landscapes and its cultural heritage.
Members of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s planning committee unanimously voted to “give a show of support” to the Upper Wharfedale Agricultural Society by not completely rejecting its ambition to create a building to store the Kilnsey Show’s equipment, such as sheep hurdles and crowd control barriers.
” The meeting heard while the landowner had agreed to plant trees along the riverbank to mitigate the harmful impact of the proposed store, officers believed as the river was 250m from the application site and the road by which people enter Wharfedale much closer, the action would “have almost no impact at all in screening the building”.
