Respondent: Cullingworth Parish Council

Cullingworth was first recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and whilst the Conservation Area covers the core of the original pre-19th century centre of the village, Cullingworth has retained much of its rural and green setting and this contributes to the unique character and sense of place. We refer to item 3.5.1., and we support the aim set out in the NPPF of preventing urban sprawl and keeping land permanently open. The land quoted above is in Green Belt and development would have a significant impact on the unique character of Cullingworth.

GNT runs along the southern border and the woodland habitat needs to be protected. The site is adjacent to priority woodland and the habitat network and a buffer would be expected on the southern edge with habitat to enhance the woodland.
The Village Council would not be in favour of the development of this Green Belt site as there are acceptable alternatives.
