A campaign group has employed two advisers to help in a bid to block plans to build up to 600 homes on open countryside.
The Greenhill Action Group (GAG) is opposing development by builders Bellway and Redrow near Sty Lane, Micklethwaite, Bingley.
They have employed town planning expert Richard Raper of Richard Raper Ltd and highways consultant Geoff Bowman, of Leeds firm White Young Green.
Their appointments were announced at a public meeting at St Aidan’s church, in Crossflatts, yesterday.
The developers submitted an outline application to Bradford Council but it was rejected because it was not detailed, planning officer Fiona Tiplady told the meeting. They are expected to re-submit the application.
Terry Brown, of GAG said the “vast majority” of people near the area were against the development.
