The land is Green Belt and has function of conserving natural habitat and safeguarding the countryside.
Loss of two sites would inevitably lead to the loss of many more
How would the council explain away taking pasture which contributes to carbon capture, storage of water and food production.
Impact on wildlife.
Unsuitability of Heights Lane for increased traffic, its dangerous for cyclists and families of walkers.
Road is used for recreation.
No footpath or cycleway due to narrowness of road.
Development would increase the danger.
Alternative sites in Bingley.
Council is encouraging dereliction and emptiness in the urban areas, with consequential crime, vandalism and depressing aspect.
More options because people are working from home making premises available for conversion/redevelopment
Leave the fringes, fill the fast accumulating empty urban spaces.
Development is about money exchanging hands, not the welfare of the community.
No exceptional circumstances for loss of green belt. not justified, not sound.
