Harden Village Council does not oppose the development if this site in principle but suggests that access might be better achieved from Wilsden Road via HR1/H and the east part of rejected site HR/013

Harden Village Council objects to the development of this site on many grounds including encroachment into the Green Belt, loss of vista towards Goitstock, significant major impact on the openness of the Green Belt, poor acces to public transport , loss of richness of wild life and no obvious compensatory improvements to access the Green Belt.

Alternative Site HR/013 (part)

Harden Village Council suggests that the development of the east 1/3rd of the rejected HR/013 site

This section is enclosed by an existing tree line which would provide a strong boundary for the Green Belt.
Partial development of this site would not provide enough land to compensate for the loss of HR3/H, but taken in conjunction with HR1/H Chelston House (15) and HR4/HC Braes Castle (4), this would provide perhaps 40 houses in total.

Vehicle access from this site would be via the Chelston House site onto Wilsden Road. The definitive footpath from North View to the Ivy House farm track could be retained. Access to public transport, medical facilities and the village centre is good and certainly significantly better than that provided by HR3/H.

If the east 1/3rd were developed, there would be no impact on the view towards Goitstock and Harden Beck Valley.

Although we would be reluctant to support development on the rest of the site, if a compelling case for further intrusion into the Green Belt was made, we can see some advantage to further development here, over development of HR3/H.
