I think that that this proposal should be looked at together with proposal BA2/H. Splitting the proposals makes them look less onerous. Together they would provide 122 out of the required 170 still needing planning permission. This is a disproportionate amount for this area of Baildon, particularly taking into account the fact that it is fairly recently that the Honey Pot Lane site was developed also on the adjacent greenfield site. Additionally, public transport in this area is abysmal - there are no buses to Guiseley, Ilkley or Otley from Baildon and the walk back from Saltaire train station is far from pleasant on a bleak winter's evening. In reality, the lack of public transport will mean that all these houses will use their own cars to go to work or shopping, clogging up the roads even further and causing more pollution.
