I object strongly to this proposal on greenbelt land. The latest council weekly news update states that tackling air pollution, supporting sustainable transport and making Bradford a greener place to live, work and enjoy and also delivering a net zero carbon ambition by 2038 seems at odds with proposals for 140 new houses (plus 49 on SH6/H) on a greenbelt site. Traffic congestion on Bingley Road will be significantly increased particularly at morning and evening rush hour.

The risk of flooding to an area that has suffered flooding will be greatly enhanced as fields and trees soak up water, helping to mitigate this.

There will be a loss of habitat to local flora and fauna. Bats, foxes, woodpeckers and deer are regularly spotted in this area.

Schools are oversubscribed and doctors and dentists are full, making it difficult to obtain appointments and treatment.
