Natural England are erecting a science hub at the Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve (LDVNNR) in Wheldrake.
The single-storey building with rooftop viewing space on the 0.4ha site at Bank Island, Church Lane has been supported by Wheldrake Parish Council, along with 19 letters of support from locals, planning documents said.
Once completed, it is proposed that the building will “deliver improvements to the wider LDVNNR for research, education, enabling additional observation and scientific research of key species and habitats, together with a primary function to expand upon the existing building.”
"We've outgrown the present building with the number of volunteers, researchers, students and corporate groups we host.
