This site is subject to a live planning application for six semi-detached dwellings. At the time of writing there appear to be several significant unresolved planning issues, including loss of amenity space, impacts on protected trees, drainage and highways matters. Silsden Town Council objects to the application on similar grounds, and strongly objects to the loss of more green urban space.
Whilst it is recognised that the granting of planning permission would demonstrate the suitability of the site for housing development, site SI8/H and the Development of urban greenspace, does not appear to be an appropriate housing allocation, particularly in light of other deemed suitable for development by the Council’s own evidence case.
SI8/H should not comprise preferred allocatiions.
