1. Visual amenity - field provides unobstructed views across Bingley and Ilkley moor and the Prince of Wales park provides a valuable community resource and views from the park would be decimated.
2.Traffic generation - Eldwick has grown over the last few years with increasing traffic- roads are already very busy
3.Road access - road incapable of supporting increase in vehicles. The junction of Heights Lane and Otley Rd is controlled by a mini roundabout which cannot support the high volume of traffic already going though the village.
4.Nature Conservation - Prince of Wales Park attracts wildlife to the area and is a route for Deer who move across the park into the proposed land. This would have a damaging impact upon wildlife and reduce availability of countryside.
5. Service impact - Eldwick has increased in size and school catchment have reduced. Priority is given to those living nearest. The proposal will have a significant impact on local school places
