Re Nab Wood site SH4/H
The proposed development is on green belt land and I disagree that that should be altered as it provides an open space between the surrounding groups of houses.
It will also be detrimental to the outlook of the housing surrounding the open area.
The proposed access will greatly increase traffic in the Nab Wood and Moorhead area, especially on Glenview Drive, to such an extent that it would inevitably cause increased pollution and the likelihood of accidents to the overall detriment of the health and safety of the area's residents.

- Nab Wood has terrible traffic already, and has significant issues with fast driving & limited access - this would be considerably worse
- Decent Air pollution is a huge thing, and why people live here which this will harm significantly
- Loss of more green space /greenbelt in the area will ruin it
- Views will significantly suffer
- Infrastructure just isn't sufficient, nor can be made to be
- The whole area would be rolled into one, with no separating border
- 'Zero Carbon Future' policy would be ignored
- Quality of life of residences would reduce hugely

Loss of habitat for wildlife, mainly hedgehogs and bats which are both struggling.
Loss of trees, which provide nesting and roosting, there remains very little in this area.
Trees absorb co2, important in an area with a known very poor air quality.
Access onto a very busy and fast road
Amenities, such as dentists and doctors, there are none in the area.
Transport links are poor for people who don't drive.
Would the housing be 'affordable'?
Would the housing have solar panels, hedgehog highways?
Shocking that the council can consider building on Green Belt, what next?

The main reasons for my objection are:
• The aim of green belt is to keep the land `open`. The plan will result in the loss of farmland and wildlife habitat and contribute to the Bradford sprawl
• Glenview Road/Glenview Drive and the rest of Nab Wood estate will experience significantly increased car use. Assuming c 160 household this represents possibly 320 additional cars using these neighbourhood roads
• Extra pressure on local services and amenities such as schools
• There are plenty of brownfield sites in and around the city which could be used as alternative locations.

This area has no access from the main road and would make Nab Wood into a rat run endangering pedestrians and children. It also soaks up a lot of ground water from the nearby hills and streams. Removal for building will cause flooding lower down in the valley which impacts the already flood risk at Bankfield along the river through Hirst Wood and Coach Road to Baildon Bridge at Otley Road causing severe damage to homes and businesses. It is also natural habitat for fox, deer, badgers and numerous wildlife important to good ecology + raised air pollution

This plan contravenes the Govt's National Planning Policy Framework - for e.g. Para 91 of that Framework stipulates healthy, inclusive spaces - however, the proposed development will negatively impact my family's mental and physical well-being by infringing on our right to a healthy lifestyle achieved through accessing this nearby high-quality open space which encourages us to walk DAILY (!) to enjoy the beautiful views (see Para 96 of the Framework). The proposed development will STOP my family's engagement with the countryside.

The development contravenes the Council's own policy for a zero carbon future, and the scale of this development will significantly increase pollution (traffic fumes, noise, light) - the cumulative effects of which will adversely impact our health (Para 180). We will also suffer a loss of privacy and a community identity separating Shipley from Bingley.

This greenbelt is not "surplus" - IT IS HIGHLY VALUABLE TO US.

This area should be retained as greenbelt land. The proposal will also have a significant impact on traffic and increased pollution, which is already congested, and as it is, Nabwood is already a rat run from Cottingley rd to Bradford rd

Nabwood is already in between two very busy corridors too and from Bradford. For a residential area the traffic is already too high and Nabwood is also used as a cut through. Any proposed increase in residential homes on what is a green belt will substantially increase the volume of traffic from Glenview Road onto Bankfield and subsequently Nabwood Drive and other surrounding routes. The pandemic has changed the way in which businesses run & there will be many vacant sites buildings in Bradford that could potentially be used for additional housing. Re think your plans, taking away green belt areas will have a detrimental affect on the suburbs & lead to a vacuum in the city. This field i walk around daily & there are deer & other wildlife that use these green spaces. Shame on you if you build on green belt land.

This is a Greenfield site which is enjoyed by many walkers and has been so for many years.
It is the habitat of nature and should remain as such as their habitat is being squeezed by humans every year.
The impact on water run off and flooding in the valley below would be greatly increased.
The roads are already congested enough without a further 104 houses adding to this area.

The proposed access from Glenview Road and Glenview Drive will significantly increase flows through the Nab Wood Estate leading to road safety issues. These roads are already heavily used as rat runs and for this reason traffic calming measures and a 20mph speed restriction have been implemented with limited success.
Allocation as housing is likely to increase traffic flows by up to 300 vehicles a day in a quiet and safe residential neighbourhood, leading to longer traffic queues and increased pollution at the junction of New Close Road and the A650 Bradford Road.
For these reasons, I do not support this proposal

SH4/H
We oppose the building of houses for the following..
Loss of natural view and open walking area, too much traffic, more pollution, threat to wildlife,
Use brown belt sites instead and regenerate empty properties
Are the new houses affordable to people in this area
Are schools and local amenities suitable to cope with 150 extra families in this already populated area
New houses would split public footpaths spoiling the area
Glenview Drive to be the access point for traffic, it’s already a popular rat run and not able to cope with the high volume of extra traffic, especially at peak times
The fields surrounding Cottingley Cliffe Road are littered with old mines and also have poor drainage
If Bradford district is to offer 1200 new houses, why are the majority going in this area alone
We think the area is completely unsuitable for the amount of new properties proposed

As a local resident I object to these plans.
Over the years traffic up and down NWD has increased significantly as people use it as a cut through from and to Bradford. If this proposal goes ahead and Glenview Road is used for access, traffic up and down NWD would increase further as residents avoid the main road from the bottom of Moorhead Lane travelling into Bradford.
The field has a den of foxes, we have a new family of deer that appear annually, sometimes coming into the garden. It is used for grazing animals too. The uninterrupted panoramic views are wonderful and I would not like these to change with any development in this field.

As a greenfield site partly wooded, part open field and wild life habitat it is part of the area’s ‘lungs’ and general quality of life. 160 dwellings - c 500 total folk - huge traffic impact on residential area along and connected to Glenview Rd in 20 mph zone, already used as a ‘rat race’ by thru traffic. This- worsened if no link to Cottingley Road. Alternative development as a wild life arboretum / leisure / exercise / wild flower meadow / nature reserve. Any guarantee that planned house development would be carbon neutral or any requirement to assess overall carbon footprint - homes and transport? Heating via ground or air pumps? Any small scale community areas, facilities, shops, leisure, play / exercise, walk, cycle ways, tree and scrub groves, incorporated? Or simply packing high density housing in with pocket- sized concreted gardens? Use brown field sites please!

There will be single access road to this proposed development which is very concerning because of the massive increase in road traffic it must create. It is sited on the upper edge of Nab Wood estate where there are no ameneties. Only the fittest will be able to walk to and from the shops in Saltaire so all other traffic will be by road through the estate down to the roundabout at the end of Saltaire High Street. This is already a congestion bottle neck - today with light traffic only 3 cars got through , with a 4th tagged on running the lights. This is significant because the proposed Saltaire tunnel of a few years ago identified this section of main road and this particular junction as the busiest of its kind in Europe.
Most households in Nab Wood are multi vehicle, as will these proposed houses.

Grave concerns regarding destruction of local outdoor accessible places within green belt.
Lack of school capacity.....local schools already at max. There is a high volume of "rat run" traffic on Ashfield Rd and this proposal will add hugely to that with potentially around 200 extra cars coming through Nab wood.
-Issues with speeding and high volume traffic on top of this will make it unsafe for our children.
-Adapt existing brownfield and town centre sites in Shipley.

SH4/H. INCREASE TRAFFIC ON BANKFIELD ROAD. ALREADY A RAT RUN, SEVERAL ACCIDENTS IN RECENT YEARS. INCREASED POLLUTION. BATS, OWLS, DEER AND OTHER WILDLIFE AFFECTED BY BUILDING WORK AND LOSS OF HABITAT. BUILDING ON GREEN BELT LAND WILL DECREASE WATER ABSORPTION AND INCREASE RISK OF FLOODING LOWER DOWN THE HILL. AREA IS A NATURAL BREAK BETWEEN SHIPLEY AND BINGLEY. NEW HOUSING WILL JOIN NABWOOD WITH COTTINGLEY AND DRAMATICALLY INCREASE UNINTERRUPTED SUBURBAN SPRAWL. TREES WILL BE CUT DOWN IN AN AREA WITH A TPO. BRADFORD COUNCIL HAVE CONSISTENTLY REJECTED RESIDENTS APPLICATIONS TO CUT TREES DOWN AND ISSUED LARGE FINES BUT SEEM OK WITH HOUSE BUILDERS DOING THE SAME.

As a local resident, I strongly object to SH4/H.

The SH4/H proposal represents a large increase in dwellings relative to the area's size, especially with other nearby Nab Wood and Cottingley proposals. This will:

* Increase traffic volume where the roads, used as cut-through, are already busy at peak times, despite existing traffic calming measures;
* Cause increased stress on local health care and education providers that are already stretched, while neglecting to consider these issues;
* Have a negative environmental impact, due to loss of green belt land and wildlife, could lead to water quality issues and flooding in nearby water courses due to the development, and likely result in increased air and noise pollution due to extra traffic.

Furthermore, SH4/H houses will likely not solve the housing problem for first-time buyers, or those on lower incomes, as houses will likely be priced in keeping with the area.

I strongly oppose the construction of more houses on this green belt . The traffic which is already busy at all times will be significantly worse ,the area will become overcrowded and wildlife will suffer . I believe increasing the amount of houses in the area and reducing green belt will make it a less desirable place to live .

I strongly object to the proposed housing plans. The area in question is populated with many mature trees. Trees which provide scenery, protection and a home to various wildlife including birds. Not to mention the irreplaceable carbon dioxide provided by the trees.

The nab wood I once knew was green, full of greenery and wildlife which over the years has vanished as a result of many building projects and new homes.

I look around nab wood daily and see houses going up for sale on a regular basis there is not a shortage of houses in the area and has never been a shortage.

Let's protect the little bit of green and protect the wildlife we have left in nab wood, it's in the name!!!

I feel that this proposal will severely affect this area. mainly due to the increased traffic as you have already mentioned that cars/person in the Cottingley area is above average. There is major congestion backing up to the end of the bypass.
The schools nearby are already causing major congestion!!. Please take my feedback .
