The land at Queensbury Golf Course should be allocated for housing development.
Access to the site would be from Brighouse and Denholme Road which is a wide road with ample footpaths at either side. Queensbury Golf Course should not be classed as public open space, and is available for development and therefore should be considered for Green Belt release as the current strategy does not achieve the number of houses required by the government's Local Housing Need.
The site is close to local schools, shops, medical centres and a local Supermarket and is also on a main bus route to the Town centre. Indeed there is a bus stop directly opposite Queensbury Golf Course. Also there are bus services to Bradford and Halifax nearby.
The Queensbury Golf Club site is suitable and available and is the best location for housing development on a significant basis which is required in Queensbury.
