- The land is designated as green belt and currently used for agricultural purposes.

- The development would reduce natural absorbing run off of water from the moors, exacerbating the problem of water management and flood control. These two sites are very boggy to begin with due to the natural springs issuing from them, resulting in localised flooding and the drains struggling to cope at times.

- increased volume of traffic it would bring to West Lane, adding to the congestion. Access to public transport is limited - the majority of commuters depending upon private transport.

- impact of increased traffic upon the air quality around Sandal Primary School.

- additional stress it would place upon the services of the local area, including medical provision.

I acknowledge that more housing is needed but feel strongly that existing brown field sites should be developed rather than irreplaceable green belt.
