IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

Topic : Greenfield Campaign |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Maybe someone can actually explain, what a Greenfield campaign is and how it can actually have any affect in Silsden, without having to buy up all the surrounding land to prevent housing developers build on it? |

Unfortunately I can’t as there would be a conflict of interest! I did try and help the TC once, but alas they have deaf ears! |

I honestly don't know what such an initiative as this new campaign can offer? The adopted plan (UDP) has outlined for years now, what Greenfield's can be so called 'losted' to development, and I have accepted that! It's a shame, but we have to allow to develop somewhere. However, I do think that these greenfield sites should always come last, with brownfields sites coming first. Given that the brownfield site, near Aldi, is at last going to be built on, that has to be great. Unfortunately planning has no regulation over when a developer can submit a planning application for any given site, brown or green. If there was such a scheme, it would inhibit competition to the market, and land prices would rocket! Yes, it would be great if sites that require development first (esp brownfield ones) were classified as key sites, and somehow support was given to aid with costs for clearance etc, but that hasn't happened, because we would be unhappy if public money supported private initiatives in this way. However it might be possible to increase developer taxes to claw the money back but successive governments haven't favoured this. Anyhow, back to the subject in question. I would think that is rather too late to save those fields that are earmarked, we cannot stop growth! However, and as I have always championed is that, what is required, is lobbying and support to ensure that important aspects of the landscape such as native hedges, trees, existing footpaths..and even the possibility of retention of some green-space, (ideally meadow, relaxed play) to be integrated within the design of the developments to retain the natural heritage from urban Silsden to semi-natural countryside/landscape. Barratts is a disaster, in my eyes, it is a block development, with no wider integration and linkages. Designs like that should not be allowed in this day and age. It is destructive development, because it offers nothing back to make Silsden whole; it's design separates itself...It may swell be a gated community unto itself! Any campaign should be an environmental campaign from urban heart to its parish limits and from what I have read this isn't that! |
