To rob Baildon of yet another piece of precious green belt land, filched from under the noses of Baildon residents to the detriment of their existing rights to the health and recreational benefits enjoyed thus far is unconcionable.
Not only would there be a permenant loss of landscape, wildlife corridor and habitat etc - which has a major potential impact on the Green Belt but on residents who derive immense pleasure in this open place. The loss of the open aspect of this area would be keenly felt by the majority of Baildon residents who take advantage, but not for granted, this beautiful place.
It appears that Baildon's proximity to such a gem must be diminished - given no opportunity to create that Green Belt boundary that gives Baildon its distinctiveness from grey urban sprawl.
Where does the land grab stop? At Hawksworth? Menston? Leave our open spaces alone.
