Importance of 'the need for a sensitive design/layout to mitigate landscape and heritage impacts.'

Developers should design low level/bungalow style properties with appropriate screening (as with Dene Hill development), to minimise impact on green belt. This would attract older people, vacate their family homes releasing these to the housing stock.

Impact on current landscape. Consideration should be given to the land being within the Saltaire World Heritage Site buffer zone,

There are deficiencies in provision in the West Lane area with regard to park/allotment space,- incorporate park space within the site

Semi rural nature and openness of the West Lane area, would be lost and that the successive developments built along West Lane has become an urban 'sprawl.'

Flood risk, surface water (including a stream), currently absorbed by fields, would cause flooding on the lower sites along West Lane.

Increase of traffic on West Lane - few exit roads out of Baildon, considerable congestion at peak times exiting and returned via Browgate. The Sandal Primary School area poses dangerous congestion twice daily during term times.
