We do not support the development of this site because:

• It is a well-loved green field site part of an area which is well used for recreational purposes by residents.
• It is not a sustainable development because of the distance to the railway station and the associated access issues raised above
• There is no path to the site on east side of Bolton Road which eradicates sustainable pedestrian access into town.
• The South Pennine Moors (Phase 2) SPA and SAC (and SSSI) are located around 2km to the east, placing this site within the 2.5km buffer zone.
• The impact on the neighbouring allotments (which are not mentioned in the description).
• This site is not required to meet the stated target number of houses. Our argument for its exclusion have been set out in more detail above.
