•Land is designated Green Belt to prevent urban sprawl. Evidence to show that there are exceptional circumstances has not been produced. The fields should stay as Green Belt.
•The proposal is not sound in accordance with the NPPF. There are many alternative, non-Green Belt sites in Bingley which have not been considered.
•Considerable traffic will be generated on a lane with poor visibility, no pavements and limited width. Generating considerable risk to pedestrians/motorists and standing traffic on Heights Lane.
•Development will not meet the objective of protecting or enhancing the environment including valued landscapes.
•Development will increase pollution and pluvial flooding. Development close to the Prince of Wales Park will reduce the environment that supports wildlife.
•As part of WYCA, it is likely additional (non-Green Belt) land will become available in the near future, meaning there is no need to develop Green Belt to meet housing targets.
