Representation Summary:

Object to plans to remove fields BI4/H or BI8/H from the Green Belt

Land is designated as Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl. What are the “exceptional circumstances” why the field have to be removed from the Green Belt? Many alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Bingley area which have not been taken into consideration to meet house building needs.

Development will generate considerable traffic on a lane with poor visibility, no pavements and limited width, and generate considerable risk to the lives and health of pedestrians and motorists.

Proposed development will not meet the overarching environmental objective of protecting or enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.

Development will increase pollution in the area.
Development close to Prince of Wales Park will inhibit and reduce the environment that supports local wildlife.

Infrastructure is at capacity with oversubscribed schools and GP surgeries. Expansion will spoil the village character.
