From the Stubbing Holme Road Action Group
Tuesday, 28 August 2007
Is the proposal to build houses on the land off Stubbing Holme Road about to raise its ugly head yet again? On Friday, 24th August 2007, the developer came onto the field at the end of Stubbing Holme Road with a chain saw and mini-digger and proceeded to cut down the few remaining bushes and smaller trees (larger trees and shrubs had been cut down on previous occasions).
Members of the Stubbing Holme Road Action Group contacted Calderdale Council to try and stop this vandalism, but were told that nothing could be done. It is very troubling that this wanton destruction of habitat that forms part of the wildlife corridor cannot be stopped.
There is now speculation that the developer wants to submit yet another planning application to build houses on the land. Watch this space for further news.

Comment
Houses over the river - appeal dismissed
The Planning Inspectorate held a public inquiry on Thursday, 29th March 2007. Twelve new build apartments were planned for "low cost" home ownership with fifteen parking spaces on land next to the playground, Victoria Road Hebden Bridge. Applicant: St Vincents Housing Association / Mango Developments Ltd. Agent: Studio BAAD - Studio Baad's plans for the Mill Pond and Linden Woods were also taken to appeal and similarly thrown out.
The Inspector had decided "The proposed building would block views in several directions. While some of these are of little consequence, I am concerned at the effect of the development on views along Hebden Water. Since Hebden Water is currently free from development in the form of buildings over it, views along it are unrestricted up to the points where it curves out of sight. Of particular importance, in my opinion, is the view north-west from the nearby road bridge. This affords sight along the water for a significant distance to trees and countryside beyond the town. It is a view many people are likely to enjoy, being a public vantage point on a road within a largely residential area on a route to the town centre. The development would very significantly restrict that view, even accepting, as I do, that it would not set a precedent for other development over Hebden Water. I consider that the restriction of the view would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
