This proposal is not “sound” as per the requirements of the national planning policy framework of Feb 2019 (“NPPF”). There are many alternatives (non-green belt) sites suitable for developments in the Baildon area which have not been taken into consideration in the proposal to meet house building needs.

It would be such a shame to lose a lovely and nowadays so rare area of countryside. The land is a green belt zone and here to prevent urban sprawl. Bradford Council has not produced evidence to show that there are exceptional circumstances why the fields have to be removed from the green belt. And unless the council does, the fields should stay as Green Belt.
