SH5/H – Bingley Road, Nab Wood (140)

I object to the inclusion of this land because:

• It is green belt.
• Access to the site is poor.
• Concerns over flooding – the report acknowledges “part of the site to the north is within flood zone 2 and small areas of higher surface water flood risk”.
• Nearby roads are already congested.
• Development here would mean there is no clear boundary between Shipley and Bingley/Cottingley so it would go against the green belt principles of preventing neighbouring towns from merging into each other and checking the unrestricted sprawl in built up areas. The report acknowledges that “the site is one of the last areas of open landscape buffer between Shipley and Cottingley.”
