I object to the inclusion of this land because:

• It is green belt.
• Concerns over flooding – the report acknowledges that “part of the site to the north is within flood Zone 2”.
• This site is within the World Heritage Site Buffer Zone.
• 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.”
