This area HA1/H has been on the ‘at risk’ list for about 30 years to my certain knowledge since Cllr. Mike Ellis brought it to the attention of the then Village Association which I was a member of. Basically, it’s Greenbelt or pasture. Whatever it’s called, the villages of Lees, Cross Roads and Bocking are expanding in all directions. Our roads are already overfull for most of every day with regular impasses and the essential services are already creaking, ie the school in Lees cannot expand any further as the site is very limited and Haworth Medical Practice is also limited by size. The fields this is targeted at are an important area of footpaths linked to the old main route to Hainworth. Brownfield sites should always be used first and no field should be touched. This is a promise that has been made and should be adhered to.
