The development will significantly increase the amount of traffic on Ron Lawton Crescent, making it more dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and current residents using their own vehicles. 110 houses will create a minimum of at least 1 car per household, plus increasing the frequency of delivery vehicles. This road network is not designed tolerate such increases in traffic. The corners of the crescent are tight, making it hard to see oncoming hazards. Many children play on Ron Lawton Crescent and surrounding roads, and this housing development will make it significantly more dangerous for them. Safety of current residents and their children should not be compromised. This development plan goes against simple accident prevention. In my day job as an Emergency Medicine Consultant (Airedale Hospital) and as a Pre-Hospital Doctor , I have seen too many pedestrians knocked down/injured and voice my objection to the risks this development creates.
