I object firstly on the basis of the numbers of houses proposed at the sun lane site. 500 houses would completely alter the village and as stated above I am seriously concerned about the impact this will have on the local infrastructure, which Bradford Council have given no concrete plans for. The 17% figure of those who get the train to work is to my understanding taken from a census completed 10 years ago and therefore not representative of the current situation. As someone who has moved to the village from Guiseley I can advise that the residents of Guiseley and Menston struggle to get on some of the morning trains which are already at capacity when they reach those stations. Burley can not be thought about in isolation, the train line is not direct to Leeds there are other stops. This needs more consideration from Bradford Council.
