Petition Against Building Mixed Use Site/826 Houses on Green Belt Land in Rastrick HD6
Final supporters
COMMENTS TO COUNCIL CLOSE ON 18TH DECEMBER
The greenbelt land in Rastrick is invaluable to keep our picturesque and semi rural way of life in tact - let alone to ensure the existing horrendous traffic issues aren't magnified - including parking in winter conditions, connections on the already over used M62 aren't impacted upon causing more accidents, our protected wildlife such as bats and owls aren't driven from the area and flooding risks aren't also magnified - all significantly impacting on an already over populated and increasingly developed area.
The proposed building of a new mixed use site with residential capacity of 826 houses between, Dewsbury Road and New Hey Road in Rastrick, Brighouse, HD6 must be seriously considered and questioned by all local residents and we welcome you to have your say!

Protect green spaces and redevelop all the plenty of old and abandoned and disused brownfield sites in this area. A bit of care and consideration is needed. While old characterful buildings crumble through neglect, what little nature is further threatened through cheap, poor quality, unsustainable and unimaginative properties.
Terrible to hear the blight on my childhood home. I fought it as a child when they threatened my football play area and so I'll fight as an adult too.
Seriously concerned about building on green belt - how are you going to mitigate for conservation issues? How are you going to mitigate for the impact on quality of life of existing residents who will lose their access to nature?
The area cannot support this amount of housing our roads are grid locked as it is,the schools and doctors surgeries are full to capacity and last but not least it is encroaching on what little green space we have left This is yet more disregard for Brighouse and it's people by Calderdale council
The cottages here for over 200 years will be ruined by the site, the fresh air is why most people bought here. Strong against this proposal.
I am totally against this green belt land should stay green belt, far too much traffic using the roads in Rastrick now!!!
This cannot happen it's a disgrace green belt surely means no building

I oppose this vast increase in housing in the area. A huge loss of green belt and habitat. School places will be at an even higher premium. Traffic will be increased further. More accidents around Jn24 of M62. Construction vehicles, noise and dust nuisance. Reduction in house values. What will these buildings/houses be used for? Social Housing etc??!!
