Bruntcliffe Road/Daisy Hill Update - your not paranoid if they are really after you!

It is curious why Developers are desperately seeking planning permission on both Daisy Hill and Bruntcliffe Road so they can rip up these Morley greenfield sites. Why the rush or am I being paranoid?

Of course the answer is quite simple. When Labour agreed to allocate both sites for housing in their UDP plans in 2001 it was only a deal they can offer to Developers until the UDP is superseded by its new plan the Local Development Framework (LDF).

It is perfectly possible for both sites to be removed from the housing allocation later this year while new sites are found for Labours proposals for over 7,000 new houses across the Morley area.

Neither sites are sustainable as the demand they collectively place on local roads, drainage schemes, schools and health centres will overwhelm an already creaking infrastructure in Morley.

We will continue to campaign against such overwhelming proposals as we believe every last blade of grass and every wildflower is worth preserving across all of Morley's Greenfield sites.
