Loss of a picturesque green space, loss of privacy, loss of light for properties.

Impact on wildlife - foxes, birds, deer etc.

Loss of a countryside resource.

Concerns over air pollution and additional traffic - Bingley Road is already extremely busy and congested which will be exacerbated.

Lack of school places.

Existing flooding problems in the area (boxing day floods of 2015) - people at the bottom of our road has their properties ruined. This will be made worse by loss of land which absorbs rainfall.

These developments will impact our local town's identities - Shipley would just roll into Bingley.

One of these developments is in the protected Buffer Zone for the world heritage site of Saltaire.

Please reconsider and look to develop brownfield sites in the area instead or consider redevelopment of unused commercial zones and premises which the pandemic has added to.
