I object to this development, & more specifically the number of planned units for a number of reasons...

1. Loss of Greenbelt

2. Serious risk of future urban sprawl - The development would create a new village "edge" with more adjoining fields likely to be developed once road access is in place. Steeton will start to resemble more of a town than a rural village.

3. Loss of Character, to a very scenic more rural part of Steeton.

4. Over development - Steeton/Eastburn have already accommodated 2 large new housing estates in recent years (Redrow + Miller homes)

I do think with a very sensitive design, some development of these areas would be acceptable.Nice stone built houses, at a reasonable density. However this is the problem, what you end up with is a monolithic, jam packed out of character development, like the truly awful new Barratt Homes development at Silsden.
