The proposed developments at BI3/H Greenhill Barn Lady Lane and BI4/H Heights Lane (West side) BI8H Land west of Heights Lane are in contravention of GreenBelt policies 1,2 and 3 as stated above.
The Heights Lane sites B14/H and BH18/H adjoin the Prince of Wales Registered Park. The loss of the greenfield site is likely to have a negative impact upon the local landscape and townscape, particularly the Prince of Wales Park (a Registered Park/Garden) with the potential to impact heavily on this setting. Both sites also fall within 2.5km of the South Pennine Moors SPA/ and are located in a moderate performing Green Belt parcel. The sites make a major contribution to the purposes of including land in the Green Belt. They have a major potential for sprawl and would have a moderate impact on openness. Like Greenhill Barn, the sites do not present an opportunity to create a stronger boundary than that which exists.
Heights Lane is a narrow country road with no footpaths, the sight lines at the junction with Otley Road are virtually non-existent, with no space for either footpaths or improved sight lines this proposal detracts from highways safety.
