Protect Our Green Belt - Holmeswood Park / Townsend Fold / New Hall Hey

Build on existing brown belt land, there are plenty of places to build. The green belt is supposed to be protected.

With the amount of (empty) buildings in rossendale why are we building more especially on greenbelt?

Totally not necessary. Too many empty units on existing industrial estates already.

This area is the gateway to Rawtenstall for people travelling in on the train. We do not need any further building along this corridor & especially not industrial. Stop ruining our countryside

Please do not build on our green belt

The woodland trust, and many wildlife organisations are trying to create woodland corridors. Building on this area and others like it is going against and destroying what the many organisations are working towards. A few years ago Alison Barnes said that there would never be any building on this land. What happened? The public don't want it. Keep our open land for nature as it was intended.

There are other parts of the valley that could be used for development without using up areas of natural beauty.

Green belt land should be left alone, use brown belt land first.

This is a fabulous green space and should be protected for future generations

Please don’t allow all of our green spaces to be destroyed - this isn’t progress!

I fully support this worthy petition

They should tax the empty industrial premises as with houses to get people to develop brownfield sites rather than turning to greenfield sites

It will happen,sorry

This is the only part of the river adjacent to Rawtenstall that is not built up.The river path is well used and there is no need to develop it for commercial purposes.

Thought the future generation would be glad of the employment,secondly, sorry to say it is NOT greenbelt and thirdly YOU SHOULD NOT BE WALKING ON MY LAND without permission, you are all dam lucky you have all not been prosecuted, no more said

Too much brownfield to fill in in our valley! Get off the recreational spaces

More green land going in Rossendale. No thought to what public think or the harm it cause to the wildlife that live there. Will also cause more traffic on the A56 adding more traffic to the M66.

Save green belt

I may not live in the area now, but this space is important and should be protected

Leave this land for those that enjoy beauty in it's most natural form and build industry elsewhere.
