Well, it's begun! The destruction of a greenfield site in Silsden by a local builder who say's they care about the local community and listen to local views, what absolute rubbish. We fought to get these plans stopped. Alot of us spent a lot of time and some, a lot of money but to no avail. How can these developers sleep at night knowing they have caused so much upset? Stick to brown field sites and leave our meadows to the wildlife and our future generations. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Successive Governments have given us planning laws which allow developers to propose building on green fields but the big problem is how easy Bradford Council pass planning applications, even when it is obvious these are not suitable or sustainable. Blame the council not the developer Government Housing Minister and local MP Kris Hopkins has spoken out against Bradford Council destroying green fields.....time to see if that is hollow talk or if he backs his words up with action. www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/10933682._We_don_t_need_to_build_on_green_land__says_housing_minister_Hopkins/ No agreement from the council though, just rhetoric www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/10933684.Council_chief_hits_back_at_Hopkins_over_house_building/ |

I understand what your saying re: Bradford planning - Silsden has been allocated 1000 new houses, down from 1700. My argument is with the so called 'listening to local people' developer, he is the one who applied to cover one of our meadows in concrete. I think if he had any moral backbone he should apply to build on a brown field site. When we went to the planning meeting regarding this development to voice our objection, our mayor said "it doesn't matter what we say ie the councillors, Bradford don't listen" In other words it's pointless arguing! So, we don't stand much chance if that's the attitude in our town hall. |

So, we don't stand much chance if that's the attitude in our town hall. Its true Bradford wont listen. Bradford Council were always going to sell this land for housing and give it planning permission.A done deal. A bit like judge and jury. Given that the best thing that could happen is a Silsden company take on the project.Its not ideal but its a fact of life of living under Bradford control..Local people, not just the developer earn a living out of this company. Incidently I think they have a job on offer...hope someone from Silsden gets it. Secretary/Accounts Clerk P.A SNELL SONS LTD - Keighley Part-time P/T Secretary/Accounts Clerk Snell Construction LLP, a small family run building company, require a part-time Secretary/Accounts Clerk for general secretarial, accounts and payroll duties. Experience of Sage 50 Payroll & Accounts packages essential (preferably with at least two years experience.) Excellent communication and organisational skills and good computing knowledge also required. Own transport necessary due to location.

fatbob if you can make bfd do as you want then put your name forward next time there is a vacant seat on the council. phillip snell is one of the most genuine people you could wish to meet, and all this slagging of by you and your friends and neighbours is unwarrented ,if a company like barritts for instance had acquired this site there would be no work for locals or sensitivity for the surrounding area,it would be more highly developed than mr snell has proposed and the build quality would be poor in comparison to how phillip builds thus bringing down the prices in the surrounding area,that you would not want. quality brings quality crap brings crap think about it. |

Well said skippy...with you all the way on this one. Local jobs for local people, good to see local firms doing well, let's support them  We do need more houses, and Snell's have done quite a few on brown field sites already, probably more than most. |
|
| localman |
the fields in question if you can call them that have been unused and an eyesore for years the people who are moaning are the people who do not want houses in front of there houses? no one else in silsden has a problem with mister Snell building there please note Croft are also building in fields near by |

What a load of crap...Do you people actually read what you write, one second your all moaning about Tesco, Aldi and littered streets and blaming Bradford council for not doing anything. Then you all turn round and say more development will be good for the town, how can this be? new builds bring their own issues, More Litter, More Dog crap, more traffic, superstores that will affect local businesses and so on. how can more builds be good for a small town that does not have a decent infrastructure to cope? for all those regular inbreads who will attack and whinge at this post...SOD OFF, get out more and see whats happening outside your bedrooms |

Wonder when the supporters of the local builder will be complaining about the heavily laden lorries making lots of noise at 6.50 this morning, taking materials up to the site? Or the amount of muck they are bound to bring back out onto the roads? Bri |
|
| fatbob |
Lorries at 0650. Already breaking the planning conditions then. We will be keeping a keen eye on this development. Scrap the Tesco development, go build your houses there instead - leave our meadows alone. |

I back the local builders. nothing like seeing a firm doing well. After all you're all living in the dark age if you think houses aren't going to be built. Philip is a decent guy who I believe does an awful lot for the community. Stop Moaning |

bit of a shame for the poor people who have got the toilets outside their house! or is that to do with the gas works that are going on? |

Greenfield building always a very emotive subject - but quite simply we do not have enough brownfield sites to build the required number of houses . If we do not have a steady supply of new houses where are our children going to live ??? - I've been a cobbydaler all my life and I now live in a 20 year old house, (new'ish ) which if had it not been build would have had to move away , also reduced housing stock inevitably leads to higher prices forcing locals out!! we need to 'regrettably' accept that new house are and need to be built and many will need to be on Greenfield land - just lets ensure they are lots of 'small' developments in keeping with the town and its environment - to all those who complaint about new developments , just bear in mind where 'you' live - all houses were 'new' at some point!!! |

Good points but the plans Bradford Council have for Silsden do not fit your criteria and are not sustainable. What do you suggest we do to make the number of new houses work for Silsden? |
|
| fatbob |
Regarding greenfield sites. Why not build our required new housing quota on the proposed Tesco site? All the local builders such as Snell could join together and cover that brown field site with houses leaving the rest of Silsden with its fields and meadows for people to enjoy and walk. |

The Riverside Mill site is allocated as manufacturing - NOT retail  and NOT housing |

Well if you think they are good builders, look at the mess of the last estate caused, some are having re building done already |
|
| janey |
I think the P Sell company will do this well, as they are good local builders with a really good reputation |
|
| fatbob |
I didn't want this subject to become a slanging match against one local builder. I just wanted the builders and people of Silsden to be aware that we need to protect the greenfields/meadows for everyone to enjoy, that's all. |
