Designated Green Belt, prevents Urban Sprawl.
No exceptional circumstances to remove from green belt, should remain green belt.
Urban Sprawl from the Swan Avenue estate, which joined Eldwick to Gilstead, deprived both villages of their individual status.
Non-green belt and brownfield sites are available.
Proposal is not sound as required by NPPG
Access is very narrow road with no pavements - dangerous for pedestrians.
Issues of speeding/danger and risks from traffic will be worsened by additional cars
Its unnerving to walk on Heights Lane.
Pedestrian use increased due to lockdown to access country walks necessary for good mental health.
Village is a rat run, motorists will choose Heights Lane/Warren Lane to avoid the bridge at Micklethwaite and Bingley.
Increase in pollution, congestion.
Dangerous risk crossing mini roundabout.
Requirement to protect/enhance the environment/landscapes.
Exacerbate Air pollution
Flooding.
Impact on Wildlife
