I oppose the development of greenbelt sites. This site in particular, along with BA6/H, represents the last strip of countryside on West Lane and is a sad example of developments being allowed to creep into green spaces. Baildon Moor is a beautiful asset which should be preserved for future generations. As evidenced by the Honey Pot Dr development, any development of this greenbelt site will have a serious detrimental affect to the visual aesthetics of the area; the houses are too densely packed into the site which does not reflect the semi-rural nature of Baildon and the wider world heritage site. Given the obvious development creep along West Lane, where will it go next? Up the moor? We need to develop Bradford’s many brownfield sites. Lastly, to suggest that we could “create a stronger Green Belt boundary” by cutting into the greenbelt is absurd.
