Representation ID: 1007

Received: 09/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Digby Wales

Representation Summary:

1. It's on green belt, Bfd council should not allow building on green belt.
2. There are plans to build at Bankfield Mercure Hotel (200 houses), Cottingley Cliffs Road (164 houses) and Sun Inn Development, equating to approx. 1000 extra cars on Cottingley roads. The roads are gridlocked at the moment in rush hour without extra traffic from these proposed developments.
3. Fields at March Cote Lane provide absorbent land, building housing will cause flooding - drainage plans suggest piping water into the small beck and into path of other properties.
4. The fields contain severely threatened bird species such as curlew, lapwing and skylark, building will cause loss of this precious wildlife.
5. The proposed development is too near local schools which again will cause traffic problems at rush hour and danger to children.
6. Local schools are already full.
