I oppose in the strongest possible terms the proposed building on the Green Belt cite off West Lane.
The land in question is Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl.
Lack of evidence to demonstrate “exceptional circumstances” why the fields have to be removed from Green Belt.
Development on the fields will generate considerable traffic on a lane with poor visibility, pavements of limited width and thus generate considerable risks to the lives and health of pedestrians and motorists. Increased numbers of vehicles will also generate considerable standing traffic on West Lane, Lucy Hall Drive and surrounding areas
Further, the Council’s proposal is not “sound” as per the requirements of the NPPF.
There are many alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Baildon area which have not been taken into consideration in the proposal to meet house building needs.
