This is a greenbelt site. Land which is there for a purpose. To prevent urban sprawl. Long Lee and Thwaites suffer from urban creep from Keighley due to over development which has occurred over the years. Once unattached villages Long Lee and Thwaites have been sucked into Keighley Town. Due to its proximity to the Crag there is excess water running through this site. It is located exactly opposite to a proposed greenfield site thereby removing green space from both sides of this road. Access would be particularly difficult as it is on the junction of Long Lee Lane and Harden Road and would cause problems for traffic emerging from another junction. Residents who live in properties adjacent to this land already experience egress difficulties due to poor visibility.
