Site is Green Belt, in a beautiful glacial valley with unusual flora. Oak trees on Ladderbanks bridleway have TPOs.

Encroachment into the valley will impact on flora and fauna – it is a Bradford Wildlife Area and area of Special Interest for Ecological & Geographical reasons.

Area is a haven for walkers, riders, runners and nature lovers and those seeking a wellbeing break.

Langley Lane is one great big cul-de-sac and contains little in the way of shops and playgrounds. Extra housing and associated vehicles will choke the estate further, especially at school run times.

Primary school has class sizes over the optimum and schools in Guiseley & Saltaire are not really local. Will add to congestion within the estate and beyond.

Removing green area will increase run-off and risks flooding in the valley.

Seems an incongruous addition to a planning list, it needs a rethink and removing from the plan.
