This land is Green Belt. Understand that policy is to use brownfield sites in preference to greenfield ones.
The site is very wet and sharply graded. Neither factor is impossible to overcome but groundworks required may make the site relatively unattractive to private developers.

132kV circuit across the site would need to relocated/removed. It is little used as there is rarely any corona discharge detected. Presumed that the Scheduled Monument is related to the Bradford Aqueduct, which is clearly not removable and may pose other physical restrictions on use of the site.

Concerned about increased traffic on Thorneycroft Road, and some of the sight angles of the intended extension roads, and junction with Carr Lane/Swine Lane. Additional traffic would fall on Thorneycroft Road, which is already restricted in width with some traffic management features. Such a level of additional traffic would change the character of the estate.
