Whilst I support the need for more housing, I cannot accept that this should be achieved through such extensive Green Belt deletions over the use of Previously Developed Land.
Wilsden Parish has several sites (Haven Farm and Prospect Mill) which are large and capable of accommodating 100+ dwellings. When added to one site that is already PDL (WI1/H), this would provide all the necessary numbers without having to resort to deletions of the Green Belt.
As Bradford has recently received a large Government grant to assist developers in converting PDL, this is what the emphasis should be - thus saving the important farming habitats and open spaces that rural villages are known for.
