Representation Summary:

Objects to the non-identification of the remaining extent of Site BI4/H (SLA BI/013).

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

The Council clearly consider this site is suitable, in that part of the site is included for housing and the SLA does not reject the site. This site lies in a sustainable location, it is available and suitable and deliverable site.

The green belt site specific assessment concludes that BI4/H would have a moderate potential impact on the green belt. There are exceptional circumstances to justify the site's release for development.

Regarding heritage impact 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.
