Community Identity

SH4/H gives a welcome western boundary to Nab Wood. Extending the area by 160+ properties will change our identity significantly, effectively creating urban sprawl into Cottingley and Bingley.


Viable Alternatives to Green Belt

Green Belt must be protected and should only be considered for building once all opportunities on Brownfield and mixed use have been taken. I don’t believe this proposal to change the green belt boundary is in line with the National Planning Policy Framework.

Greenspaces are important to residents’ wellbeing and SH4/H is popular locally.


Infrastructure / Schools / Traffic
I don’t believe local schools can cope with the addition demand this development would create, especially taken in conjunction with the SH5/6 proposals.

The suggestion that Glenview Drive / Glenview Road etc could cope with this additional traffic is just plain wrong.

Flooding around the River Aire is already a concern, this will not help.
