All these site are in the Green Belt. Little by little the Green Belt is being eaten away. Soon there will be nothing ‘green’ left. Cottingley is a wonderful place to live. (sadly over the years I have witnessed the Green Belt being slowly eroded). It has so many advantages one of which is the Green Belt which surrounds the village. All the residents value the open countryside. People are able to ‘breathe’ in Cottingley. Proposals to build near The Bankfield Hotel and in Nab Wood would also impact on Cottingley and further erode The Green Belt. The proposed new Crematorium at the top of Nab Wood is also to be built on Green Belt.

If these proposals go ahead, unfortunately, I would implore Bradford Council to at the very least ensure that there is plenty of “social housing” amongst the new build.
