Representation ID: 26653

Received: 19/03/2021

Respondent: Jamie Hartford

Representation Summary:

- Green Belt can only used for development in ‘exceptional circumstance’s (most likely the need for housing). In Bingley there are at least 2 parcels of ‘Brown’ land which would easily provide the number of housing units to remove the requirement for Green Belt use. The Council have clearly not proved ‘exceptional circumstances’.
• Access and highway safety- poor access due to the narrow road and no footpath. development will make a bad situation worse.
• habitats- To develop the sites would have a significant impact on wild life.
• impact on agricultural land- The sites are used for grazing sheep . The development on the site would impact on food production.
-moral duty to safeguard the countryside to guarantee the future of the planet.
