Respondent: Mr Richard Tovey

I am a resident of Scalebor Gardens close to the proposed allocation of 110 dwellings.
1. With 500 dwellings consented on Sun Lane another 110 at Scalebor exceeds the identified housing need with no more justification.
2. The site only meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria as defined in the NPPF and a development of this scale would be inappropriate development in the GB and encroachment into open countryside.
3. Highways experts,, Bryan G Hall, concludes that it would require an alternative access into Scalebor and no options are possible. Ron Lawton Crescent has not been designed with this in mind and Scalebor Park Close is not suitable. The roads are already congested and families park cars on the roads overnight because the garages are too small.
4. There is a restrictive covenant on the site that it has to be used for grazing only.
Enough said!

The roads around this estate are already congested as many cars are parked on the pavements due to existing properties only having drive way space for 1 car and most properties have 2 cars. Yo have to weave your way on the road around parked cars and being an estate, children are riding their bikes and playing outside. Additional cars coming through Scalebor will present a safety risk to the children.

In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or a deliverable option on the grounds of land ownership, access, housing need and Green Belt considerations and I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site. There is a restriction on title constraining the subject site to use as grazing land, there is no viable access solution and the site meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria with no exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release. In addition, the increased traffic flow arising from further development (owners,visitors, deliveries) would :- (i) bring increased risk to child safety (ii) worsen already inadequately sized roads (especially with parked vehicles on them) and (iii)the Moor Lane junction (and road surface), which is already inadequate for the level of existing traffic, would be made even worse.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate i think additional housing in the green belt is deplorable with there being so many brownfield sites available in the Bradford council area - the infrastructure, schools, transport, doctors, roads etc are not adequate for the existing housing. Access to this site has not been considered.

In the long term, an increase of possibly 200+ cars and delivery vehicles on the estate, being detrimental to our health, wellbeing and environment.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate I have observed the building of Scalebor Gardens which has a similar density to the proposed development. The greenspace in this development has been paved over by the residents, the planting which was supposed to be maintained for 5 years in many cases has been removed by the new residents. When Bradford Council was approached for enforcement they stated enforcement would only take place for health and safety issues. Due to this attitude I believe building on Greenbelt should not be allowed as additionally the area is designated as a green infrastructure corridor.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate who has young children who play and walk around Ron Lawton Crescent daily, one of whom is disabled with mobility issues, the prospect of this additional traffic especially is horrific, and the impact on this development to existing site access, infrastructure and feel is not acceptable.

Respondent: Mr Jeremy Till

Proposed access route is extremely dangerous. Presently Ron Lawton crescent is not a through-road and only has a small volume of traffic to access 10-15 homes. This planning proposal would result in at least a ten-fold increase in traffic volume to the proposed 110 homes, which is unacceptable. The proposed access point is at an area used by children as a safe communal play area for cycling etc. - which would no longer be possible, or would result in a potentially fatal accident for a small child. This access is wholly unsuitable and there is no available alternative.
The proposed development would significantly adversely affect sight-lines and views from the houses on Ron Lawton Crescent, and additionally those from the railway line and the houses on Southfield Road.
The increased drainage from the site will further increase flooding lower in the village, and indeed the Sun Lane flood plain.

Ron Lawton is unpassable as a conduit for traffic it is too narrrow, and William Fison Ride cannot cope with this level of additional traffic - risk of serious accidents and fatalities directly attributable to this development , and real problems with congestion & traffic flow and subsequent increase in diesel fumes in the air causing childhood and adult asthma. The restrictive covenant held by Walker Morris states this is grazing land - unless everyone in Scalebor agrees otherwise. But many of us don't agree - for example as a resident here at Scalebor, I don't agree, and this covenant is legally enforceable which people will want to enforce. Also this is green belt. Don't ruin the beauty of this land by building on green belt. We have all seen in covid how important walking in green space is for health.

Concerned around the increased volume of traffic through an already busy village, I worry for the safety of my children who already struggle to cross the main street/Station road. The old moors road would not cope with the increased number of cars, either. It is already difficult to pass cars with the amount using it, currently. Also the volume of new houses would add too much pressure on local amenities, including Secondary school provision. More loss of Green Belt area too.

Our objections to the proposed allocation of land at Scalebor are as follows-
1 number of traffic journeys through the junction opposite our house with Moor Lane and also traffic under the railway bridge on the lane.
2 inadequate shopping provision in the village resulting in additional car journeys for provisions. The parking in the village is already beyond capacity.
3 additional burden on the 2 local primary schools which are at capacity.
4 additional pressure on the local secondary schools which are already overcrowded in Otley, Ilkley and Guiseley.
5 commuter train services are already standing room only and are at the maximum carriage length for the line stations.
6 contrary to Green Belt principle and yet another assault on the green open spaces in and around the ‘village’.

The proposed access is via William Fison Ride which is the only current access to Scalebor Park. William Fison Ride is alongside the community playing field, which is a valuable piece of open green space for residents of the village. The additional traffic would make the road next to the playing field unacceptably busy and poses additional risk to children and families crossing the road to access the green space.

Access to the proposed development is then via Ron Lawton Crescent, which is a narrow residential street with street-parking. There would be additional congestion in this area with a resultant reduction in air quality to the local residents. Reduced air quality, particularly from diesel particulates has been shown to be deleterious to health and is linked to childhood asthma highlighted by the coroner at the inquest of the death of Ella Adoo Kissi-Debrah (British Medical Journal BMJ 2020;371:m4902).

The addition alone of the extra car movements through the estate would be a serious risk to safety. The narrow access road into the estate borders the green space that all the children play on. it is often very difficult to get in or out of the estate a peek times now, extra cars equals gridloc.

As a local resident for over 5 years and my wife for over 10 years on the Scalebor Park estate I fully understand the need for new housing however the pressures already on the estate are apparent. The development of Scalebor Gardens several years ago increased these pressures, further development on what is green belt land will significantly add to these.

Access via RLC is not safe. More than 90% of homes on RLC have 2 cars (despite proximity to station) so its a single carriage. RLC is so quiet children play there. Regular pot hole damage to WFR is severe, this road is not adequate for current traffic. During sport on Scalebor playingfield parked cars fill WFR and JGW causing traffic problems. Scalebor Park Close provides pedestrian access, it would no longer be a safe route (in particular walking to school) as there is no pavement along RLC to get to SPC.
