Representation Summary:

•Green Belt should be maintained for its intended purposed.
•Sites are a haven for wildlife and corridor for animals.
•All brownfield sites should be used first before Greenfield sites. Few sites in Baildon but there are sites in Shipley which would provide the same benefits. These are likely to be better distributed and situated for transport, amenities, schools.
•Public transport is poor. Development will increase number of cars. Traffic is already at high levels and difficult to access the village at peak time. Existing residents will suffer from the dangers, noise and pollution.
•Site rises steeply. Development will have dreadful impact on views of existing residents. Risk of sprawl and impact on openness. Also will be visible from Saltaire WHS.
•Development likely to increase risk of local flooding of existing houses on West Lane.
