Respondent: Mrs Philippa Crane

Objections:
Do not build on greenfield sites, instead build on the number of brownfield sites available in the Bradford district and sell the many empty houses in the Bradford district.
This site falls partially within the active flood zones FZ2 and FZ3 and contains hedgerows and trees. It is also adjacent to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Conservation Area and Local Wildlife Site, which would be adversely affected by the development and to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, so water quality would need protecting. The site also falls within 7km of the South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC.
The land is currently used for agricultural purposes (small holdings, animal pens, allotments).
Access should be investigated. Mitigation any impacts on Sykes Lane which is a protected lane.
Poor Infrastructure:
Silsden needs a senior school
GP surgeries under pressure
Hospital not big enough
Sewerage concerns
Constant traffic congestion / noise / air pollution
