Consultation period is not long enough to comment on a massively complex, detailed plan. It is tokenistic. Undertaking take into the middle of a pandemic is cynical.

Plant faces several serious crises (biodiversity/ecosystem collapse, climate chaos, flooding, global health crisis). Plan will smother areas of Green Belt, nature reserves and agricultural land in development. It is part of the problem, not the solution.

Building on Green Belt land contravenes Government policy. Boundaries can only be changed in exceptional circumstances and inappropriate development approved only in very special circumstances. What the very special circumstances for releasing sites from the Green Belt.

Area has ex-industrial past. It full of brownfield/potential brownfield sites. Keighley College building has pulled down with proposed use for the site. Marley incinerator site provides no communities benefit. Would have been a perfect housing site, providing a benefit.

No concern for welfare of citizens or natural heritage and character.
