Who decided in the first place that B-in -W should be designated a 'growth area' ? Certainly not the residents of the village. It seems that Bradford Council is intent upon ruining semi-rural areas and creating another homogenous suburb of Bradford.
The council are still referring here to 610 properties yet in your own document you show that the 10% adjusted figure is 549 !
Finally I would say that to many of us in the village this process is merely a box ticking exercise. This is evidenced by the fact that the overwhelming opposition to the Sun Lane development is going ahead regardless, in effect we have no say.
The final decision by the Secretary of State was given not because he agreed with the proposal but because the developers have thrown enough money at the project to negate any local objections.
