Baildon & Shipley FOE - BA/5H
1. Note NPPF requirements paragraphs 136 and 137
2. Contravenes a core principle of Bradford’s Sustainable Development Action Plan, ‘Living within environmental limits’.
3. Adverse impacts on a fragile habitat and biodiversity.
4. Unsuitable topology; poor drainage
5. A buffer zone to a stunning valley area which is highly valued by all who know it. This is also recognised as a great wildlife area and an area of special interest.
6. Street lighting up to the edge of the development would adversely affect the natural habitat on the green area, at the new boundary.
7. Severe traffic congestion on Langley Lane, especially at school run time, made even worse.
8. Any mitigation (including new public rights of way) would not compensate for the loss of this area.
9. Pressure on school places, especially Baildon CE Primary School which adjoins.
