Site designated Green Belt. Prevention of urban sprawl.
The boundary between Eldwick and the surrounding fields/moorland will be eroded/destroyed by proposed development.
No proof/evidence of required “exceptional circumstances”.
Site is an open gateway to the countryside, should be left as such.
Proposal is not “sound” as required by NPPF.
There are alternative (non Green Belt) sites available, which have not been taken into consideration in the proposal to meet house building needs.
Additional traffic.
Heights Lane has poor visibility and bends, no pavements and limited width.
The health and safety of pedestrians, motorists, road users.
The roundabout is extremely busy/dangerous.
Adding to increased standing traffic causing danger and pollution.
Will not meet environmental objective of protecting/enhancing the environment/valued landscapes.
Pollution and pluvial flooding will increase.
Drains are overloaded.
Prince of Wales Park will be damaged.
Impact on local wildlife.
The wealth of bio-diversity, the positive impact of green space and wildlife cannot be underestimated.
A WYCA Review will result in further non-Green Belt land becoming available for development.
No requirement to remove the fields from Green Belt to meet the house building targets.
