Plan for Burley led by developers and land owners. Resulted in Burley receiving more than fair share of development, greenbelt in particular.
Why is ongoing redevelopment of Greenholme Mills no longer included in Burley's housing allocation?
Not all objections are 'nimby-ism' - was a lot of support for redevelopments at Greenholme Mills and Scalebor Day Centre, both brownfield sites.
Well known that large greenbelt sites are hugely unpopular, yet keep on being put forward by landowners - and then included in the Plan. Consultation after consultation, yet local views not reflected in proposals.
Focus on housing without firm commitment to supporting facilities or infrastructure.
Numerous references to support for Wharfedale Greenway, but not backed up by actions or funding?
Understand that sections of Burley's Neighbourhood Plan were overruled in order to allow large housing developments. Not the case with other Neighbourhood Plans?
