I write to object to the proposed development to build houses on the Green Belt between Ben Rhydding and Burley-in-Wharfedale reference sites IL1/H Wheatley Grove (130 dwellings), IL3/H Coutances Way (155 dwellings) and BU1/H Sun Lane, Ilkley Road (500 dwellings.)

• Green Belt. The fundamental aim of Green Belt is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping the land permanently open. It is the responsibility of Bradford Council to protect the Green Belt and build new housing by maximising the potential of brown field sites and only to consider any infringement on Green Belt in very ‘exceptional circumstances’ and only then after reasonable consultation and agreement with residents in the locality. I wholly object to Bradford councils’ proposals to build on these sites as they are not in keeping with Green Belt Policy.
