Brownfield land should be first built - there are many such areas including in the Baildon area which have not been considered. Therefore no evidence to show that there are “exceptional circumstances” for the fields to be removed from Green Belt.

Infrastructure - a lack of child places available in Baildon Schools; extremely poor visibility and limited parking around Sandals School;

Development of the fields will generate considerable extra traffic on a lane with poor visibility, pavements of limited width and thus generate considerable risks to the lives and health of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.

Would cause increased emissions and undermine attempts to improve air quality and increase drainage / flooding problems.

The two suggested plots are the only green open spaces left along West Lane before reaching the moors.

Impacts on the environment that supports local wildlife

Lack of public transport from West Lane and Lucy Hall Drive means cars are a requirement to get around

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.
