Why would the council even consider building on this greenfield site? In my opinion this equates to ecological vandalism, once this woodland is gone it will never go back to being a greenspace. Surely this goes against everything we should be doing re the environment and the impending disaster we are heading towards. This is a green haven which has a positive impact on air pollution, it is very close to a major school and the positive effects of green space on mental health are well recognised - especially in the young. There are countless brownfield sites in and around the Bradford area which should be developed before any consideration is given to destroying woodland and the wildlife it supports. Covid19 should be a wake up call to reassess all developments - health, wellbeing and the environmental impact should take precedence over short term money making schemes.
