From Cath Flitcroft's article which you linked to:
"The BMC are concerned about the consequences of these proposals on the landscape of the Lake District, in particular the impact they may have on access to or the enjoyment of climbing, walking and mountaineering in the Lakes, and would encourage our members to sign the No Nuclear Dump petition."
Having lived near a nuclear dump I can understand local concerns about increased traffic and risks of nuclear waste. However, as a climber I'm uncomfortable with the BMC encouraging its members to campaign against, without at least presenting alternatives or a more balanced view.
