Went Edge Quarry lies just to the south of Darrington, near Pontefract.
Its managers want to expand the site, where limestone is mined, by nearly 10 hectares.
But furious objectors say the proposals would lead to serious damage to animals and plant life at the nearby Brockadale Nature Reserve, which is a popular haven for people living in Pontefract and the surrounding areas.
Went Edge Quarry s owners claim any impact the development has would be negligible .
It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI), such is its significance.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, which runs the reserve, claimed the plans have the potential to damage a nationally important site through dust and disturbance coming from the quarry effectively running nextdoor.
