B14/H – Heights Lane (West side) (21)

I object to the inclusion of this site because:

• It is green belt.
• It is a narrow road with blind bends and no pavement, well used by many walkers, cyclists, horse riders and not suited to large amounts of traffic.
• It is close to Prince of Wales park and could negatively impact on the natural habitats of birds and other wildlife.
• Potential flooding issues elsewhere in Bingley as this land currently soaks in rain and works to prevent it running downhill to residential areas.
• The junction of Heights Lane/Otley Road/Park Road is already very busy at peak times and unsuitable/unsafe for more traffic.
• The report acknowledges “the site has a major potential for sprawl”.
