Location Cottingley –CO1/H
The site proposed is in my opinion of an ill thought out strategy. Which together with the proposed sites SH4,5,6/H would be totally unacceptable. There can not have been any risk assessment given to further flooding to the immediate vicinity or the River Aire or any conclusive assessment of the infrastructure in regard services or traffic on already heavily congested roads.
No consideration given to the environment or grabbing of important agricultural land by further development of Green Belt Land.
In support of my comments I wish to quote your own planning offices with regard to a small proposed development in Nab Wood Shipley which was recently turned down by because I quote” It would harm the openness of the Green Belt and present clear conflict with its purposes including to check unrestricted sprawl of large built up areas and assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.”
