Land is designated as Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl.
No evidence to show that there are “exceptional circumstances” to remove from Green Belt.
The proposal is not “sound” as per requirements of NPPF.
There are alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Bingley area.
Increased traffic on a lane with poor visibility, no pavements and limited width and thus generate considerable risks to the lives and health of pedestrians and motorists. Increased considerable standing traffic on Heights Lane.
The development will not meet the overarching environmental objective of protecting or enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.
The development will increase pollution in the area as well as generate pluvial flooding . Development close to the Prince of Wales Park will inhibit and reduce the environment that supports local wildlife including deer, birds and bats.
Bradford Council is part of the WYCA Review. This is likely to result in further parcels of (non-Green Belt) land becoming available in the near future for development.
