Object to Local Plan proposals in relation to sites in Bradford South East. Concerned about the impact on Tong & Fulneck Valley.

Cannot be discounted that developing these Green Belt/green fields sites and promoting a travel corridor alongside, is detrimental to any consideration of what these green spaces and village setting of Tong offer to Bradford and Leeds residents.

May be argued that the erosion in this instance is not major, the direction of travel is clear. From the perspective of Fulneck/Pudsey, the creep of development down from the top of Westgate Hill over past time is plain to see.

Further development would demonstrate a disregard and careless abandonment of a broad and elevated green vista when seen from western Leeds, and for Bradford residents a loss of greenfield areas with all that involves in terms of degrading biodiversity and overall ecology of the area.
