Objection to the housing planning proposal West Lane (1) BA2/H and West Lane (2) BA6/H

This is a greenfield site and the brown field sites in this area should be used in preference. When the Covid pandemic is over other brownfield sites could be investigated for housing development.

The council needs to protect our green spaces. Where is the wildlife going to go if we build on them ?

There aren't sufficient services in Baildon to support all these extra houses, West Lane will become more congested giving off petrol fumes. Primary schools are already at almost capacity in Baildon. No specific detail is given in your document of this matter.

Other people come to Baildon to walk and enjoy Shipley Glen and the surrounding countryside. It is good for their mental health. West Lane with additional housing built on green belt land would spoil that amenity.
