Object to the proposed development plans for Green Belt areas in Shipley:
- concern raised over how housing need figures for Shipley are calculated- do they consider impact of pandemic, fall in birthrate through lockdown, fall in migration due to Brexit?
- Are housing figures dictated by Government rather than local people
- Damage to Green Belt in Shipley- has every brownfield site been explored?
1. land on Valley Rd, which until a few years ago held a number of small blocks of flats until they were demolished.
2. the former Oddfellows Hall
3. land behind Aldi
4. the former Jobcentre and adjacent car park
5. the current Shipley Hospital site, which the NHS will soon be vacating
6. the Carnegie Library, or else the land on which it stands
- Increased traffic and access to Bingley Rd not considered possible
- Impact on flood risk on Branksholme Drive has been a significant problem.
