We support the need to release land from the Green Belt under Policy SP5 and we agree that exceptional circumstances exist to amend the Green Belt.

In particular and with regard to the need provide a strategic employment allocation we strongly support the release of land from the Green Belt at Apperley Bridge, namely NE22/E and NE23/E.

However, we have reservations about the housing requirement and housing distribution set out in Policy SP8 and the knock-on effects this might have to Policy SP5.

We would suggest the housing requirement should be increased and that the Plan should decrease the proportion of the housing requirement being directed to Bradford City Centre and increase the amount of land to be released from the Green Belt for housing development.
