Site designated Green Belt, intended to prevent urban sprawl.

Development will erode/destroy the boundary of Eldwick.

No evidence for "exceptional circumstances" to justify proposal.

Loss of open gateway to the countryside.

Proposal not "sound" as required by NPPF.

Alternative non Green Belt sites are available.

Development will generate considerable traffic on a lane with poor visibility and bends, no pavements and limited width. The health and safety of pedestrians and road users will be at risk. Additional traffic will add to danger and pollution at roundabout.

Development will not meet environmental objective of protecting and enhancing the environment/valued landscapes.

Increase of pluvial flooding.

Heights Lane floods, drains are overloaded.

Damage to Prince of Wales Park, housing will inhibit and reduce the environment supporting wildlife.

Loss of carbon dioxide production, (asset for community) and the wealth of bio-diversity.

The WYCA Review, may result in further non-Green Belt land becoming available.

New ways of working/living in the "post-Covid" world and infrastructure developments in the wider city, will mean more options will open up.

Not required for house building targets.
