Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Conservative)

I am opposed to building on this site as it is on the Green Belt. Planning Policy clearly states that unless there are exceptional circumstances then Geen Belt should not be released for building. Policy SP5 –Green Belt and SP8 –Housing Growth are narrative statements which are subjective and are no justification for releasing this Green Belt site for housing.
There are other brownfield sites within the district and these should all be utilised first before any Green Belt is built on.
The Conservation Area is very close to this site and any large development will adversely impact and conflict with the nature of this area. A conservation area is purposely to conserve and preserve the local character and historic value of the local area. A large housing site would therefore not be appropriate.
I am informed by local residents that there is an array of wildlife on this site so any building would need to be supported by a Habitat Regulation Assessment.
The local landscape and character would be hugely changed and would be overdevelopment.
Part of this site is on is within the flood risk areas and should not be built on.
