Representation ID: 1022

Respondent: Mrs Kate Hoe

Representation Summary:

BA6/H West Lane 2. I strongly object to this planning application on land which is categorised as a major parcel of Green Belt. Further housing development in this area will have a major impact on openness and will also put increased pressure on the existing road networks. Local roads in this area are already under significant strain at peak times of the day when Baildon is often used as a 'cut through' to commuters from neighbouring towns and villages. Although this proposed site does fall within close proximity to a local primary school, the school is currently at capacity & would need significant investment should it be required to accommodate yet more pupils. With reference to the proximity of public transport, consideration must be given to the actual distance and time it would take to walk to Saltaire train station as this is not certainly not a linear route.
