I fully support the removal of green belt from land, especially in the case of the Heights Lane fields of B14/H and B18/H. I know that there’s always plenty of objectors but they’re only trying to benefit themselves whilst pretending to care about other things!! You can’t make an omelette without cracking eggs and you can’t build affordable and market housing without removing some green belt. That’s why the council was granted permission to remove it in the first place. Without having that option, there is nowhere nice and pleasurable to build houses. Bingley/Eldwick is in a housing crisis and new houses must be built. 40 new houses would benefit eldwick families so much and it would only put it in line with the housing across heights Lane anyway! The fields are private, they are not enjoyed by the public - let’s make the most out of them. These fields are perfect for housing and there are no brownfield sites in eldwick... there’s nowhere else to build and HOUSES ARE NEEDED!
