Green Belt exceptional circumstances have not been demonstrated, no appreciation of cultural, historical, recreational or environmental aspects.
No consideration of the effects of the pandemic and Brexit. The 2021 census should inform future planning policy
No information provided on road impact. New road building is inconsistent with the Council’s declaration of a climate emergency in 2019. Concern that road will release further development sites, increase air pollution and traffic.
Area provides access to green space for walking, running, cycling and horse-riding etc. Its development will impact health
Area is biodiverse and home to hundreds of threatened species. No assessment of the impact of development on the environment, especially on ancient woodland at Black Carr and Kit Woods. Building in it would be an ecological disaster.
Development will lead to flooding further down the valley. Flood risk assessment is vital.
The Tong and Fulneck Valley is one of the last remaining local areas where you can walk, exercise and observe wildlife and the natural world so close to the urban sprawl of SW Leeds and SE Bradford. If you cared to take time in the area you would see the amount of people of all ages benefitting from the location. It is an area that should be cherished and maintained for future generations..
