I object to proposal BA5/H Meadowside Road/west of Baildon C of E Primary School. The site in question is a green-field one which is, essentially, at one with the Gill Beck Valley. It is adjacent to open meadows, which themselves form part of an environmentally and recreationally important area of varied green landscape and considerable biodiversity. To allocate this land for building runs directly counter to Bradford’s stated policies of prioritising biodiversity, exercising environmental stewardship and promoting health and well-being. This is to say nothing of the additional pressures which 40 new homes on this site would place on existing residential amenities. On no account should building be permitted here.
