Hi, it's no coincidence, the moth is the Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner which is also causing the blotches. It's now well established in Calderdale since first arriving here in 2008.
It was on a sweet chestnut. Virtually every leaf on the tree had multiple blotch mines.
Ian or Tina, your moth is a Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner - it doesn't mine Sweet Chestnut leaves. Are you sure that they are mines and not fungal infections?
Some more info here:

Looking at the leaf in the photo (if it's the leaf the moth was found on) it would suggest Horse Chestnut and not Sweet Chestnut.
They were definetely mines - could see pupal cases at exit holes. Maybe my tree ID is at fault ??
Maybe, but still a good find and photo. It's not a species I've seen in the wild yet despite the abundance of mines there now is.
