The Heights Lane sites B14/H and BI8/H adjoins the Prince of Wales Registered Park. The loss of the greenfield site is likely to have a negative impact upon the local landscape and townscape, particularly the Prince of Wales Park. This site also falls within 2.5km of the South Pennine Moors SPA/ and the site is located in a moderate performing Green Belt parcel. There is some potential for sprawl and would have a moderate impact on openness. These sites do not present an opportunity to create a stronger boundary than that which exists. Heights Lane is a narrow country road with no footpaths, the sight lines at the junction with Otley Road are poor, with no space for either footpaths or improved sight lines Heights Lane is very popular with walkers, riders and runners and increased traffic on a lane and into the mini roundabout will be dangerous.
