We broadly agree with the approach centred on brownfield first but which also includes greenfield and green belt land
with strong transport accessibility once deliverable and viable brownfield sites have been identified.

The Shipley Golf Course site at Cottingley is considered to be sustainable in terms of access as set out within the Accessibility Appraisal included at Appendix B, and is therefore an appropriate location for development, as per the aims of policy SP4.

Recommendation 5: In order to deliver the approach set out within Policy SP4 in a plan-led way, the overall housing requirements for the Local Authority should be reviewed urgently to enable the LPA to identify and deliver a robust supply of housing land in accordance with the accessibility orientated approach identified. This will prevent an approach to future application determinations based predominantly on the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
