GAG is totally opposed to any building of houses on this site and will undertake anything necessary to convince the Planning Authority that Greenhill should not be developed. To do that, we need to pay for experts - we need traffic, ecological, archaeological, drainage and other consultants, as well as a planning expert to advise us on each step of the way.

This 40 acre site could accommodate up to 800 houses, and the impact on local roads, especially Micklethwaite Lane, Sty Lane, Oakwood Drive, Falcon & Fairfax Roads and Beck Lane, and on surrounding areas e.g. Micklethwaite, East Morton, Crossflatts is massive. There will also be huge impact on services such as schools & health services, as is all too painfully obvious. The public enquiry in 2003 attracted 600 objections, the largest number for any site in the UDP, but the Council have issued a revised plan with the site still allocated to housing.

GAG is non-political and is solely opposed to development on a green field site which is the only green lung for residents in the Bingley / Crossflatts area. To ‘fight the fight’ we need to raise £15,000 from everyone who wants stop the Aire Valley being turned into more of a concrete wasteland.
