Objection to build 170 houses at the West Lane.

The site is greenbelt at the edge of a World Heritage site. Loss of precious green space which is much used for recreation as well as to protect wildlife.

There is no supporting infrastructure planned. There are insufficient surgeries, Pharmacies, and shops to support another 170 households.

There are traffic jams at Baildon roundabout and the main road leading to Shipley at rush hour. This number of houses could mean another couple of hundred cars travelling down these roads at rush hour which would be ridiculous.

These houses should be built on brown belt sites in areas that can support the associated extra traffic and provide the facilities and schools.

You should be realistic about the likely consequences of your proposal and plan accordingly. To assume people will walk or cycle to work and distant locations for schools and medical care is unrealistic.
