I object to essential beautiful green belt pasture land for housing. If these two sites Ad3/4 get the go ahead, sprawl will spread further west of Southfield Farm until it fills all of this precious chunk of greenbelt land north of the bypass (A65). This ancient pasture land, is bisected by two main walking routes out of the village to the Roman road The Street, Dales Highway, Millennium Way, Addingham Moorside and Addingham High Moor/Rombalds /Ilkley Moor. These routes would be negatively impacted by this massive overdevelopment.
This green space has been the saviour of many people's wellbeing and health. It should be something that planners actively try to promote for physical and mental health.
These fields are a wildlife haven with 'Mature trees and hedgerows along boundaries.- ecologically diverse site that you are potentially destroying. Barn owls which can be seen here on a daily basis at dusk.
