Planning for Homes
Ward has seen significant population growth, removal of greenbelt and urban green space for housing over last 20 years. It has a significant role to play in the District’s future health which does not require the submission of further land to meet its housing need.

Would support use of any former industrial land for an additional extra care facility should such land become available. If not, no further land should be released for housing.

Sites NE4/H, NE8/H, NE10/H & NE11/H should be removed as allocations.

Support discounting of Thackley SUE (Ref: SS/007). It is adjacent to protected woodland and should be set aside as green space up to the edge of the existing settlement and proactively identified as land for re-wilding. Development would lead to adverse impacts on flood risk by increasing the flow of water towards the River Aire by replacing green fields/soil with hard standing.
