Castle Hill is probably the most cherished site for all the people of Huddersfield, and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year. The greenfields bounded by New Laithe Hill, Ashes Lane and High Lane Newsome are directly overlooked from the Hill. It is the backdrop to Castle Hill which is part of the DNA of the people of Huddersfield. The image of the Victoria Tower on Castle Hill surrounded by fields is ingrained in the local consciousness.
This land, threatened by encroaching development is something everybody in Huddersfield should care about. It is designated as Provisional Open Land which means that it can be released for building at anytime.
We want to protect this land for future generations. If you agree that Kirklees Council should protect these fields by re-designating them as Greenbelt please add your signature below.
The scale of this response confirms the public mandate for re-designating these fields as Greenbelt. I am now coordinating with local planning consultants to draft a formal submission for the upcoming council review.

Castle Hill is iconic. Once you build on those fields you can never get that view back. Keep the developers away from our history.

Ridiculous. We already have enough houses being built everywhere. Leave the green space alone for once!
