The application was refused and then in controversial turnaround it's suddenly approved in a closed Plans Panel remote meeting! Our last little bit of green!
An Aerial shot of West Ardsley taken this morning. This is our last bit of green, soon to be a @redrow estate. Big old urban sprawl, country roads that can't take the traffic. It's too sad. @mikeyrro took this stunning photo
After 15 years of fighting, D-day has finally arrived.
@ChrisGPackham we take our fight to save countryside and wildlife to court on Tuesday.
A share would be the icing!
Less than 1 week to the Judicial Review.
If permission is quashed this could set a legal precedent for other campaigns.

Finding this all a bit much today and itβs only just really started π’ something about seeing green land ripped up is just heartbreaking π it literally hurts. Theyβve started on the last bit of grass this morningβ¦. Just rolling it off like butter.
Doesnβt take long does it? This is a day n a bit of Redrowβs destruction of our beautiful green field. Devastating π’ and so wrong. @andreajenkyns did their CEO just give you another large Tory donation when you met with him?
From the @churchofengland Environmental Impact Assessment:
"The landscape has a relatively weak landscape structure with limited features worthy of conservation, and a number of detracting features, including large pylons. The quality of the landscape is judged to be poor".

This is amazing. Why canβt we get this? Come on @andreajenkyns itβs still not a done deal with the council, they DONβT yet have full approvals. It CAN still be called in!
Any news please? @andreajenkyns itβs been over a month. Theyβve been stopped for now, they started before they got full permissions. Doesnβt bode well for our community the way theyβve entered the village like a wrecking ballβ¦
@GregClarkMP just heard that @andreajenkyns is asking again to help us save this space! 3,500 constituents objected and they canβt all be wrong! Pls help make this right. This community is crying out for help. We need this space and we need our roads to remain safe & accessible
Not a good weekend in our community. You can see the reservoir in our page background. Our thoughts are with the family and friends. Please donβt swim in reservoirs. They are NOT safe, they are incredibly cold and have unknown under currents. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leβ¦

This is ringing true very much so. Two weeks and Iβve barely seen anyone when usually itβs very social walking the dogs. Hate this development! Hate the council and bloody greedy developers and land owners π’
People think itβs just an image. Itβs not, itβs a place where memories are made, where people connect, where we can all escape, relax and disconnect from life.
I get emotional taking these images, this #landscape is #irreplaceable
Iβve emailed the βpowers that beβ
twice now but work still continues. I know that weβre not going to stop them building but respect to both residents and the following of regulations should surely be a priority.
Now land acquired @redrow and their contractors showing their true colours by demonstrating massive lack of respect to not only #WestArdsley community but #LeedsCityCouncil planning process itself. @Redrowhomes behaviour is disgraceful and unacceptable. Complaints tsunami starts.
Planning enforcement have finally stepped in and stopped them for now, well they seem to have not got the memo on site, but theyβre to be stopped.., hopefully.,,eventuallyβ¦ soonβ¦
They donβt have full permissions under conditions yet but still they crack on regardless #redrow@andreajenkyns last picture was a huge hedgerowβ¦ sod nesting season.
