The first issue with this is that it is encroachment on the green belt. The green belt boundary will be weakened as the next extremities will be less defined than the road. The site however would be a natural infill, better than some others proposed.
Public transport is poorly served with buses one per hour and the secondary school and train station at Saltaire being reached via a bridleway down to Higher Coach Road.
The West Lane /Lucy Hall ribbon is poorly served by other infrastructure. There have been over 300 houses built along West Lane/ Lucy Hall drive since the 1980s with no provision for retail or playgrounds facilities.
The roads with the exception of a back route to Bingley all lead to Baildon Town roundabout, this will add to congestion and reduction in air quality.
Any development must include green space and playground facilities in conjunction with BA2/H
