•Sites are part of viable green belt farmland which would be diminished if developed.
•It is a valuable green space for biodiversity which would be diminished if developed.
•Provides views of the moor within the Saltaire World Heritage site.
•Surface water run-off will flow faster off hard surfaces increasing flooding of the river Aire.
•The library and Ian Clough Hall are under threat and should not be included for future housing plan discussion.
•The bus service from these sites is only once an hour not 3 times an hour.
•Baildon Station is 2 miles from the sites and includes a big hill. The station has limited parking.
•Road links from the sites are very limited with the main road out of the village always queuing at rush hour.
•Planning for housing should aim to reduce use of natural resources, reuse sites we already have and reduce the impact on the environment. Green Belt land should not be used for housing.
