I am writing to strongly object and oppose the Local Plan for housing at Baildon on the Green belt sites adjacent to West Lane.

I don't believe that it is ethical to build on Green belt sites and the sites under consideration are areas of natural beauty, attract wildlife and this should be retained for future generations.

The government push sustainability and environmental initiatives so I fail to understand why building on this Green belt land is even being considered.

Baildon is busy already with a large population, resulting in busy traffic and attracts a mass of visitors which already impacts footpaths, moorland and roads (take the current condition of West Lane for example).
