We’ve not been able to visit this site (BA5/H) ourselves but it has been brought to our attention based on the concerns from local groups. In addition to our comments on SP5, we would object to this site allocation. The site BA5/H has been identified to be highly accessible to services and within sustainable transport modes, specifically Baildon train station at 800m walk away. However, the site is located adjacent to a TPO tree and an area of TPO woodland. Removing this part of the green belt which has a large potential for landscape impact, is of concern, and developing low density housing on it would be a very unsustainable outcome for the site.

In line with our comments on policy SP5, we also object to the following site allocations:

BA2/H
BA6/H
