Land designated Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl.
No evidence to show that there are “exceptional circumstances” for using Green Belt.
Fields should remain Green Belt.
The Council’s proposal is not “sound” as per requirements of the NPPF.
Many alternative sites (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development which have not been taken into consideration.
Development will generate considerable traffic on a lane with poor visibility, no pavements and limited width creating risks to the lives/health .
Increased vehicles will generate considerable standing traffic on Heights Lane.
The development will not meet the overarching environmental objective of protecting or enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.

Cause increased pollution and generate pluvial flooding.

Development will inhibit/reduce the environment that supports local wildlife.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority Review, is likely to result in further parcels of (non-Green Belt) land becoming available in the near future for development.
No need to remove the fields from the Green Belt to meet house building targets.
