Why are you planning to build houses on Green Belt in this area ?

The Government’s policy on protection for the Green Belt is set out in chapter 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in 2012, which clearly states the importance of Green Belt land and emphasises that when protecting the Green Belt, local authorities should maximise the use of suitable brownfield sites before considering changes to Green Belt boundaries. -I have attached a copy of the Government National Planning Policy Framework for your reference

The Brownfield Sites available in Bradford Council is huge and according to your website it states:

“The purpose of the register is to promote sites with unimplemented planning permission for residential development and to identify further opportunities where land is suitable for new homes in the District, to encourage re use of the land/buildings, stimulate regeneration and drive up housing delivery.”

There are NO Brownfield Sites in Ilkley.
