The access to the Scalebor estate is all through William Fison Road. This is a very busy route with children playing and limited passing options on Ron Lawton Crescent. I am aware of accidents already occurring between drivers and children. Fortunately no one was badly hurt. There are already over 500 new houses in the Sun Lane development and the Greenholme Mill development. This development will put unreasonable pressure on village resources. GP appointments are already difficult to get for example.

In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or 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.
As a local resident on the Scalebor estate i sincerely hope you listen to the words said today as i struggle to see how removing green belt land from Burley would benefit future generations.

The woodland provides a unique habit for wildlife as an oasis between developments. The housing need in Bradford is for affordable homes and Burley cannot supply these and has already met the numbers required. Moreover the infrastructure of the narrow valley cannot support so many new houses. Brownfield sites need to be developed alongside those in this village.

It will increase car use in the village due to the distance from the main centre of BiW, particularly for any older residents. As a local resident on the Scalebor estate I can see no benefit to this proposal and do not believe that the environmental harms resulting can be in mitigated. As a result I strongly object to the proposals.

This site is not suitable as it is Green belt, there is already new housing being built on Brownfield site at Greenholme mill, and 500 houses to be built on greenfield in Burley at Sun Lane. There is no safe access road as the current access road for the houses at Scalebor Park is busy and congested at weekends. Please use Brownfield sites in Burley or elsewhere in district and save our greenbelt.

I do not support such development in the village nor the enfringement onto green belt land, which is an important wildlife habitat.

I firmly believe that the addition of so many houses and therefore families, cars etc., would have a detrimental and unsustainable impact on the current infrastructure of the village. It would fundamentally change the village character and not for the better.

I urge you to reconsider the plan, protect our village community and protect our green spaces for the people and animals who already live here.

Thank you for your consideration.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate and having moved to the estate recently, I do not want a building site next to my house that will ruin the peaceful surroundings that we currently have. In addition, the added pressure on the services in the local area is unnecessary.

Principal objections:
This would be another large development to impact adversely upon the village and its environment.
Key impacts would be:
• Elimination of a largely open green area closely adjacent to the village and existing housing and with potential impact on the wider greenfield and Green Belt areas
(no details are provided in the Development Plan of how the stated ‘distinct landscape setting will be conserved and enhanced’ will be achieved)
• High density housing and occupation, out of keeping with that of the adjacent former Scalebro hospital estate and other nearby properties
• Further adverse impact on local infrastructure and services. with few compensatory provisions – in particular on roads, village access and parking, public transport, schools and medical facilities
• A resultant total of 610 new residential units in the village – exceeding the Remaining Allocation Requirement of 541 units

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate I'm mostly concerned about the additional number of cars as well as emergency access given the estate is already severely compromised. We chose to move here it is a safe place for families to grow up and children to play out which would be completely destroyed should this proposal proceed.

As a local resident, adjacent to the proposed site, I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site on the basis of harm to the local environment, green belt and urban sprawl.
I also object to the proposals because of the additional strain on health, education, social care & transport services which will require substantial investment from the Council.

Including schools , medical facilities, increased volume of cars in an already precarious situation and car parking at the local Rail Station.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate there are already potential traffic issues on weekend mornings when the playing fields are busy, this plan would exacerbate them further and there have been multiple cars damaged already.

As a local resident on the Scalebor estate I enjoy the fact that children can play safely outdoors away from traffic and that wildlife, such as deer, lives right on the doorstep. The existing site was carefully and thoughtfully designed on the old hospital site, but is already a dense housing site in the Wharfedale greenbelt with no capacity for further housing without a seriously detrimental impact on local wildlife, infrastructure and family life.

The very idea that this plot of land, so close to the Moorland SPA/SAC should EVER be considered for development sums up BDMC's duplicitous approach to the environment. On one hand , emphasising green infrastructure, green corridors for wildlife transit, & then proposing destroying EXACTLY that.
Once again, residents have countless metadata'd photos of the threatened wildlife species on that site, and it is a precious greenbelt area. Scalebor Gill to the NorthWest of the the site is a riparian wildlife corridor (Blue, in BDMC parlance)
As the housing units required figures for Burley-in-wharfedale are shown in error above ( I suspect deliberately), there is not the slightest hint of the "EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES" that must exist before greenbelt release can even be considered.
It is an insult to the Healthcare professionals in our village to suggest any development here would "Benefit Health Objectives"!

I repeat, despite BMDC itself stating that brownfield sites are to be prioritised they are yet again actively pursuing the approval of development on greenfield land within the Green Belt. Importantly, the additional contribution of homes at Scalebor House would result in Burley exceeding its identified housing need. The development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or 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 this site.

The immediate infrastructure does not support this quantum of development without substantial alterations to the essential character of Burley in Wharfedale through road widening and provision of car parking. Burley in Wharfedale is already overwhelmed with street parking reflecting the significant levels of car ownership in this location. Safety of residents and particularly children should not be further jeopardised. Traffic calming measures only go so far in helping to create a safe environment. The railway bridge immediately to the east is the only means of crossing the railway line at Burley, the nearest others being Menston and Ben Rhydding. There is already significant congestion at this point being for single file traffic only. Introducing 2 lane traffic under the bridge risks this becoming a “fast” piece of road at what is a very busy and already high risk junction.
