Green belt land. This is one of the last green belt areas in Baildon. Inadequate infrastructure. Roads choked at peak times, especially at school dropping and collecting times. West Lane is barely passable. The route to main working destinations mainly Leeds and Bradford are awful at peak times, sometimes taking 30 minutes or more to reach nearby Shipley. Queueing situation all the way to Bradford, a journey of an hour or more. Gridlock situation. Schools are oversubscribed. There is only 1 upper school in the immediate area and the primary schools are full. The doctors practice is also oversubscribed. Since moving to Baildon in the 1980s most of the green areas have been taken for building houses. These green areas are therapeutic for residents. A total of 122 houses could be build on these fields, which is far too many for the area.
