It is concerning to note that planners drawing up this proposal are not aware that this site is directly opposite a large secondary school of around 1900 students, ie Bingley Grammar School. Although it has “grammar” in the name, this is historical, and the school is a normal comprehensive school. There is considerable congestion outside the school at certain times of the day, which already causes significant problems, and with the proposal for 135 dwellings this could cause additional traffic issues. Better use for this land would be to provide additional facilities for the school (and thereby the community). Alternatively, as previously proposed in the Aire Valley plan a few years ago, this site should be used for office/light industrial accommodation to bring jobs into the town.
