The SI4/H belt is a greenfield site, this accommodates a number of long standing small holdings which are an integral part of Silsden community. The area houses many different types of wildlife such as deer/ bats/ owls and flora, which will be lost forever. The brownfield site off Kly rd when completed will add in excess of 300 vehicles and pollution to the area, adding a further 300 to a beautiful green space is irresponsible. The infrastructure in Silsden cannot cope now, the main route through overtly congested and a danger. The A65 bypass already a danger to cross.Sykes Lane is 500 year old and is being systematically dismantled by growth plans which has seen the demise of ancient hedge rows through poorly managed and detailed planning guidance and control, (Eg The Banks)There are enough brownfield sites across Keighley area to accommodate Bradford’s housing quota without impacting on green spaces.
