- No exceptional circumstances for green belt removal.
- This site is not sustainable
- The site contains several areas of mature trees and woodland - important for local wildlife and biodiversity - thus contravenes the stated objective of The Woodland Strategy for Bradford.
- contravenes a core principle of Bradford’s Sustainable Development Action Plan, ‘Living within environmental limits’
- will have an adverse impact on water quality
- The loss of this greenbelt site is likely to exacerbate the flood risk for nearby land
- contravenes Bradford’s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy of December 2016
- adverse environmental and social impacts of this housing proposal on the local road network and the residential areas that these roads serve;
- adverse impact on air quality;
- increased pressures on local services and infrastructure;
- the nearby primary school is currently over-subscribed
- site is highly unlikely to make a sufficient contribution to meeting social housing need in our area
