-Object to use of green belt pasture land for housing.
-Concern regarding the sprawl which will continue to spread further west of Southfield Farm until it fills all of this precious chunk of greenbelt land north of the bypass (A65).
-Bisected by two PROWs. These are the main walking routes of the village, along with allowing residents to access the Millennium Way, Addingham Moorside and Addingham High Moor/Rombalds and Ilkley Moor.
-Benefits of the land and PROWs to people’s physical and mental health.
-Report states, a wildlife haven with 'Mature trees and hedgerows along boundaries' This speaks for itself in showing you the ecologically diverse site.
-Impact on wildlife - barn owls, hares, other bird species, old hedgerows and trees.
