Respondent: Mr Tom Wilson

I strongly object to the proposed allocation of WI3/H - Moorside Farm, Wellington Road:
It is Green belt land - National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states Green belt land is to protect urban sprawl and assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. The Local Plan directly contradicts this policy by including an allocation on Green belt land. In addition, nowhere within the Local Plan suggests this is an exceptional circumstance to build on.
Access & Transport - 80 dwellings is a substantial, disproportionation number that the local roads around Wilsden wouldn't be able to accommodate. Main Street in Wilsden is considered a Non Principle Road Network suggesting the standard of road would be unsuitable to any uplift in traffic.
Impact on local facilities - Has an assessment on the ability of the local school and medical practice to accommodate an additional 80 dwellings been considered, as is required in NPPF?
