The land is Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl - no evidence produced to show that there are “exceptional circumstances” why the fields have to be removed from Green Belt.

There are many alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Baildon area which have not been taken into consideration.

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

Increased traffic on West Lane, Lucy Hall Drive and surrounding areas

Will not meet the overarching environmental objective of protecting or enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.

Will increase pollution in the area as well as generate pluvial flooding .

Development close to the Moors will inhibit and reduce the environment that supports local wildlife including deer, birds and bats.

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.
