Brownfield sites - there are many - should be developed before greenfield.

Land is designated as Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl - no evidence to show that there are “exceptional circumstances” why the fields must be removed from Green Belt. There are other (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Baildon area which have not been taken into consideration.

Lack of infrastructure - lack of child places available in Baildon Schools;

Traffic / roads / safety particularly for children

Impact on air quality

Loss of the only green open spaces left along West Lane before reaching the moors - will destroy the open nature and character of the road.

Flood risk

Impact on wildlife / adjoining moors.

Lack of public transport

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.
