Supports the inclusion of Site BI8/H (but note its separate objection to the non-identification of the remaining extent of Site BI4/H and Site BI8/H)

The site is well located within the Bingley sub area. Bingley is one of the Principle Towns.

We disagree with the green belt site specific assessment which concludes that BI8/H would have a major potential impact on the green belt. There are exceptional circumstances to justify the site's release for development.

In terms of heritage impacts our client is not advocating the complete development of land parcels where there would be ‘substantial harm’ or ‘less than substantial harm (unacceptable)’ to the Grade II Listed Prince of Wales Park.

The site is deliverable, there are no known viability issues and no environmental constraints associated with the site that cannot be dealt with via appropriate design.

The development would form a logical extension to Eldwick.
