Respondent: Burley Bridge Association

The building of the existing Scalebor estate was permitted within greenbelt land on the basis that it was previously the site of an NHS hospital. The edges of this were not allowed to be breached and these must now be preserved; there is no merit in housing sprawling into precious greenbelt land here. The roads on the estate are used by children playing; those nearby are not capable of taking on more traffic, or even of supplying proper access to the proposed housing. The top road (which runs alongside the moor) is very narrow, bendy and dangerous. Moor Lane is narrow and leads to the chicane under the railway bridge which is also dangerous when people are impatient.

The recent refusal for the application to build on Scalebor Park Farm was very welcome. The same reasons to decline apply here. I strongly object to this proposal.
