This site should not even be on a development plan as it is Green Belt. Which appears to count for nothing. Why call anything Green Belt if it is to be redesignated at a whim? The BMDC plan appears to be 'see a field, build on it', regardless of existing residents' quality of life.
A development of 40 houses on Long Lane will add a potential 80 cars on a road system already at capacity.
Together with the other sites, this will add a potential 120 plus vehicles to Long Lane/Harden's residents' frustration with the levels of traffic.
This is appalling planning - actually it is no planning at all.
Another erosion of village boundaries. Allow a strengthening of boundaries? Until the next field? Until Harden meets Cottingley?
