Representation Summary:

ENVIRONMENT
The plans fail to correctly factor in the carbon footprint of the new housing, albeit declaring a climate emergency.
These plans contradict the Public Health England directive, to improve, maintain and protect current green space.
Green space is a critical asset for maintaining and supporting good health and wellbeing.
Greenbelt boundaries should only be altered where exceptional circumstances are fully evidenced and justified.
SH5 site falls within the buffer zone for the Saltaire World Heritage Site, envionmental damage will ensue this must not be ignored.
The sites will contradict the intentions of the BMDC decision and declaration to become a Clean Air Zone (CAZ).
Extra traffic volumes and queuing on all nearby roads will exacerbate levels of noise and air pollution for all.
The site is known to be subjected to significant water saturation via the exacerbated level of the water table - homes will be flooded again.
