-This area is greenbelt land and should not be built upon. If developed it would destroy a large area of natural habitat for much wildlife both for animals and plants.
-There are more suitable local brownfield sites that should be prioritised for development over this.
- The local road infrastructure will not be able to sustain the increase in traffic from the houses. West Lane is already busy especially as it is the access road to upper Baildon and Shipley Glen which attracts many visitors. There are already many parking and access issues for Sandal Primary School which the police have often had to intervene with which is very close to this proposed site.
- There are water drainage issues across the whole of this area. There are many natural springs flowing down from the moors both above and below ground leading to much standing water in this area.
