Many of the 'sustaining and supporting local services and facilities' claims are unachievable within the present green belt stealing LP - Baildon's special village character is being sold off, irrevocably altered and not for the better. These developments will ensure key heritage assets become supernumery outposts of yesteryear surrounded by sterile concrete until their relevance is forgotten and they too fall to the planning pen. Protecting air quality as well as protecting and enhancing existing open spaces and green areas, networks and corridors whilst imposing the allocated number of units on an already near capacity road network structure is pure pie in the sky rhetoric. The residents know this. Kerbfronted housing is an anathema. These 'cheek by jowl shoehorn 'em in' proposals fly in the face of the pandemic campaign 'every bit of space matters'. The developers are the only ones to benefit from this plan.
