This is only a small development but if seen alongside the proposals for KY15/H contributes to a large scale sprawl towards East Morton and increases the amount of traffic on a bend already overloaded with access traffic .
The development area borders the old path/bridleway of Bury Lane which takes away a green buffer that is environmentally important to this old way. This track is a valuable part of the leisure amenity that the path network in the area provides linking to the open moorland an building up to it would have a significant environmental impact. The green belt in the area should be valued as a nature and leisure asset and the old ways should not be damaged by development.

As this land is already council property, it appears likely to be developed most quickly. My concerns are mostly with the loss of visual amenity and increased traffic flows at the Carr Mount/Carr Lane/Swine Lane junction.

There is insufficient primary school provision for the current housing. The local primary school, East Morton, is over subscribed. Additional housing would only exacerbate the situation.

There is a lack of public transport to the village & at peak times the bus is full of Bingley Grammar students going into Keighley meaning that residents of the village are unable to access the service.

The Waterside Fold estate has recently suffered from drainage problems which has caused significant access issues during the freezing conditions. I'm aware that in recent years, inadequate drainage has meant that several houses on the estate have been flooded when water has run off the farmers fields & the current drains were overwhelmed.

There are plenty of brown zones that could be redeveloped into housing without the need to build on greenbelt land.

•No good reason identified for building on these sites.
•Building on Green Belt can only be done in exceptional circumstances –these are not identified.
•Plenty of brownfield sites that can be developed without ruining green space.
•Area critical to wildlife/wellbeing. With Covid lockdowns the need for spaces for exercise is obvious.
•Is it money orientated? Destroy greenspaces to make it look as rubbish as Bradford.
•Council does not care for our area.
•This is a wonderful town with problems which we’re trying to fix. We have a great community. Greenspaces are loved/used considerably. We have litter pickers, toad patrollers, people who look out for the countryside/neighbourhoods. Council doesn’t care about our community, green spaces or what we want.
•Council is contravening the Green Belt planning laws.
•Look at the alternatives, people who live here/love this area, the people who need green spaces.
•Only giving until 24th March smacks of manipulation.

I strongly object to Bradford Council building houses on Greenbelt land. There are enough Brown field sites with abandoned buildings and unused warehousing that should be considered first. Also what about housing that is unoccupied by missing landlords? Why aren’t these compulsory purchased to start with? You never consider the infrastructure, roads, doctors, schools, sewage, increased traffic etc., when drawing up these plans and what if any will be social housing which is the most needed of all builds? NONE

I am objecting to the proposed developments for the Carr bank and Waterside fold areas in East Morton/Riddlesdon. The extra traffic created by these developments would overwhelm the existing local roads, which are already used as a “Rat Run”. The high street through East Morton is too busy now and can be very dangerous for local residents to cross. There is also the state of the Canal bridge being able to cope with this extra traffic, as well as the air quality suffering from exhausts of this extra traffic. This would undoubtedly affect quality of life of the present residents in the area.

While recognizing the need for housing I object to the use of greenbelt land , the purpose of which is that it should be left green and not built on. You cannot promote green spaces if you are seen to be building on them. It would be hypocritical.

Having just been informed of your plans to build houses on more of our Greenland, these houses will completely surround me and my neighbours. I very strongly object..

Our children play on this area, along with others from the village, it’s disgusting that you are yet again proposing to take more of our outdoor space.

We also have a lot of wildlife here, such as deer, ducks, geese, as well as others.
There are also concerns regarding drainage, if you look at your records you will be able to see the amount of problems we have had regarding this.

The schools are also at full capacity, so where do you propose all these children go to school?

The list is endless.

We don’t want these houses building here full stop.
Leave our Greenland alone !!

KY16/H I like would to object for the following reasons . Carr Bank is a relatively small cul-de-sac. Although these houses could be seen to replace the houses that once stood , we now have a large children’s home on the same site which in itself causes some noise pollution and parking issues as visitors/contractors/staff sometimes park on the street. If the houses go ahead there simply would a HUGE shortage of parking. We already have issues and there is no overflow or alternative street. Some residents have to park on the grass where the house are planned , so that would be lost too. Parking on Swine lane/Carr Lane is not a viable option especially at night as this would cause a possible danger to other road users. Carr bank could also become noise polluted as there would be many more residents in quite a small rural area .

I strongly object to the building plans in the following area:

• KY156/H – Carr Bank, Riddlesden – 16 Houses

The estate and area is already struggling with traffic, access and parking also I think any building works will cause a massive disruption to the current residents, we have massive drainage and flooding problems already and I feel this will only add to the problem. There is now way the two local schools can take additional children - Crossflatts funding is already under pressure. The catchment for Bingley Grammar goes through the middle of Waterside Fold Estate - more housing is going to have an impact on this catchment and ultimately for our children.

Strongly object against the planned development Green Belt land in the Riddlesden area (Carr Bank). The schools in the area are nearly at capacity. Green Belt land should not be destroyed with new property developments.

News of the proposed site have not been well communicated to residents to allow objections to be heard. Only knew on the proposals due to social media – residents should be contact directly to be able to comment on them.

1- Development of this site will affect access to property
2- The Parking at Carr Bank is already quite cramped and the community already struggle to find parking regularly. Sometimes residents have to resort to park on the green area which to make matters worse is also going to be taken away as part of the new development. Essentially making an existing problem even worse by minimising space and increasing the number of residents of the Close.
3. Noise Pollution.
4. Loss of privacy.
5. Loss of View.
6. Loss of Light.

-This site directly leads on from our back garden and will impact us directly.
-It is a greenbelt
-Impact on wildlife
-Building houses directly in front overlooking our back garden will result in shadowing our property, loss of light and loss of privacy.
-Will result in poor air quality and traffic congestion.
- there is a huge parking issue for the current residents to park their cars.
-Its just not viable to build 16 houses on such a small space of greenbelt land, with hardly any parking space.

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).

If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.

For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.

For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.

It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.

Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.
