1 The Chapel Street site is of high ecological value to the village and development there should be resisted strongly. This is part of the richest wildlife sites in the village. This site should be protected as a Local Wildlife Site not developed.
2 Development of the two Main Street sites AD3/H and AD4/H would be a significant infringement of the Green Belt and result in damage to the ecology of the village. Site AD4/H will bring additional traffic onto the estate roads and where the estate road joins Main Street at Old Station Way is already a dangerous busy junction. Site AD3/H will bring additional traffic onto Big Meadow Drive and Silsden Road.
The Green Belt on the Southfield land between the existing two estates is very valuable open land and should not be developed but should be left as valuable Green Belt.
