This land is part of a peaceful, tranquil greenfield area which is regularly used by many walkers and cyclists for their mental health and wellbeing. It is grazing land that provides biodiversity and supports a variety of wildlife both flora and fauna.
The proposed development is for 40 houses. Baildon has a high car ownership, above average. This is going to put at least 80 additional cars onto a highly congested road that cannot accommodate the existing vehicles as well as school traffic.
Baildon is now saturated, all the schools are full, the doctors and dentists are full.
Continued building on greenfield sites has the potential to increase the amount of rainwater that goes into the system which in turn increases the flood risk as this water can no longer be absorbed naturally.
