•Sites are Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl and should stay that way. Insufficient evidence produced to show ‘exceptional circumstances’ for their removal.
•Proposals are not sounds as per the NPPF. Many alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in Bingley which have not been taken into consideration.
•Development will generate considerable traffic on a lane with poor visibility, no pavements and this generating considerable risks to pedestrians and motorists. 80+ vehicles will generate standing traffic on Heights Lane making it unsafe for walkers.
•Developments will not meet the overarching environmental objective of protecting and enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.
•Development will cause pollution and generate pluvial flooding.
•Development will inhibit and reduce the environment for local wildlife.
•Bradford Council is part of WYCA review – with non-Green Belt land becoming available in the near future. Green Belt should not be removed to meet housing targets.
