I must declare an objection on the grounds of this area's removal of limit green space within Shipley. I used to walk our dog their regularly.

As a geotechnical consultant I would advice caution at developing this land. As a former quarry site even now with steep slopes, there is likely to be a highly varied bedrock profile and deep fill deposits that will place very high abnormal costs on the below ground works. The practicalities/logistics of developing the site will be very onerous too.

Why have ground constraints been omitted from the screening? I'm working with the British Geological Society to make tools available to local authorities to screen ground risk. Please contact if interested to know more.

Thank you.
