Alternative (non-Green Belt) sites suitable for development in the Baildon area havent been taken into consideration.
Increased traffic on a lane, with poor visibility, pavements of limited width, prone to speeding, will generate considerable risks to the lives and health of pedestrians, cyclists, schoolchildren and exacerbate Baildons traffic congestion. Increased pollution in the area as well as generating pluvial flooding .

It is a valued landscape being the last buffer of green land between Baildon, Shipley Glen, and the moors - areas of outstanding natural beauty - this will be detrimental to the environment supporting wildlife, and the mental health and wellbeing of residents and visitors alike.
