Whilst this is the site of the old Prospect Mill and, therefore not green field or green belt land, it is in a conservation area which abutts Pinchbeck, known for its diverse wildlife. Since the 2 fires which destroyed Prospect Mills, nature has reclaimed the site, making this a green space to enjoy once more. Also the proposed building works would seem to be contrary to Bradford Council's own 'Thornton Appraisal' which states 'The overall aim of the Conservation Area Management Proposals is to preserve and enhance the character of the Conservation Area, by ensuring that the Council and the community work together to maintain historic features and details and limit the loss of character.' and (page 11) LESSON: Decision makers should consider the character of the conservation area when determining planning applications.'. Also 'Loss of key open spaces' would apply to many of these proposed sites. https://www.bradford.gov.uk/media/2512/thorntonappraisal.pdf
