Housing at Haigh Wood Site

January 31, 2020by Beth3 Comments

Two years ago a planning application for 299 houses was published by Leeds City Council,

Yesterday that housing application was turned down by Leeds City Council Councillors.

West Ardsley Action group would like to thank EVERYONE who has been involved, those who have written objection letters, those who attended meetings, those who asked questions, those who displayed posters, those who were in the leaflet delivery army, those who came out on the site visits and protests and those who came to the council offices yesterday showing their support for the village and the green spaces of West Ardsley.

An incredibly huge thank you to those on the steering committee who spent hours writing technical objections and who found holes in the councils documents.

It has certainly proved that West Ardsley community spirit is alive and well.

Thank you

Its begining to look a lot like Christmas….A huge thank you to everyone involved in arranging the pruchase and the placing of our very own community Christmas Tree.

You can see the tree outside Hilltop school, Thank you to Simon Panther from Panather Roofing for the amazing donation of the tree

Massive thanks to Jacqueline Fairburn at the Hare and Hounds for supplying us with a big plant pot , thanks to Karen Mitchell and Donna Haigh for buying us the lights and to  Gill Cowling who has kindly offered to decorate it.

There is also a smaller tree for the village children to place their own decorations if they would like to.

Haighwood Planning

November 26, 2019by BethNo Comments

Sadly the campaign to protect our green spaces has hit a snag, Highways have said they have no objections to the proposed 299 houses! 

We are therefore taking up arms and upping the fight so to speak, the battle continues.

We need as much support as possible, please write objections to Leeds City council, please ask your parents, your siblimngs, your children, your friends, their friends- in fact any one you can think of to support us by penning a letter

thank you

Yes, there was a pretence of democracy, for show only. Over 3,000 cannot be wrong but LCC want it concreted over. You’d think they’d at least put it in reserve rather than first up over brownfield sites it’s just so very sad & very wrong. Gone forever for the sake of greed.

@HaighHelp @LeedsCC_News @LeedsNews @leedslivenews The destruction of this beautiful & important green space for wildlife & the community is a travesty of democracy (3,000 objections). History will judge the Government & Leeds Council harshly for their disregard for nature, the environment and people's wellbeing. Heartbreaking.

I thought I’d share this again. The legal agreement for haigh wood development just posted on planning portal has made the reality hit hard. Our beautiful green space. Our green lung. Gone forever to join the urban sprawl. Shame on you @LeedsCC_News

This is what we will lose. It’s heartbreaking and it will be gone forever. Decision day on 30th Jan 2020 by Leeds City Plans Panel. Recommended by planning despite 3000 objections for the unsustainable development! #savehaighwoods 3
