Full Infill Planning Permission Refused

~ Greenside Greenway ~ Leave a comment

This weekend saw a big step forward in our plans for the Greenside Greenway. The full infill application, that would have scuppered the whole project, was refused by Leeds City Council.

The two official documents outlining the reasons for refusal can be found at the links below.

Officer Report

Refusal of Planning Permission

Despite the good news, it is important to remember that this decision can still be appealed, and that the application was refused because it did not adhere to council planning policies, not because the council are supporting the greenway.

We still have work to do.

 

Please object to the building of a new road in the Tong and Fulneck Valley

~ Greenside Greenway ~ Leave a comment

Please support our friends at Save Tong and Fulneck Valley and object to Bradford Council’s plan to build a road across the Tong and Fulneck Valley, which in turn will allow them build houses and industrial units.

In our view this will destroy Black Carr Woods and precious greenbelt.

A document is linked below. Please print it off, sign, and send to the address on the front page or drop off at the collection point at the BankHouse Pub. It is also possible to email the form to planning.policy@bradford.gov.uk
