Will impact on quality of life

Loss of natural habitat, agricultural land, opportunities to engage with wildlife & natural riverside views

Detrimental impact on residential amenity (loss of privacy; overlooking; loss of natural daylight).

Lack of infrastructure will be exacerbated (public transport; walking/cycling routes; school places; GPs; dentists).

Ground stability often compromised (inadequate drainage (sewerage/surface water); over-saturated land; heightened flood risk).

Existing inability to cope with traffic will greatly increase with extra vehicles (more air pollution from queuing traffic; bottlenecks on arterial roads, junctions & nearby roundabout; compromised highway safety).

Loss of community identity caused by loss of Green Belt separating Bingley/Cottingley/Saltaire/Shipley.

Questionable real benefits from loss of Green Belt in return for limited housing most of which won’t be affordable.

Good presence of viable alternatives (brownfield sites in Shipley; vacant commercial premises that could be adapted).

Non-compliance with Council policy on achieving net zero carbon and Clean Air Zone

Within Saltaire World Heritage Site buffer zone.
