Flood risk - March Cote Lane has suffered surface water flooding - this issue will be made worse.

Our 3 local schools; Cottingley Primary, Dixons Academy and Beckfoot have raised their objections to the build - they are already full to capacity and unable to take on new students.

Road Traffic - a big issue in and around Cottingley. Emergency services etc are often unable to get up or down March Cote due to the high number of cars parked on the road/paths.

Wildlife/ Biodiversity - this build will negatively impact the Roebuck, Foxes, Hedgehogs, Bats, pheasants and large number of native birds which call these fields their homes.

Why are the many brown belt plots around the Bradford area not being considered for builds like this? - there is no need to use greenbelt land when there are so many more suitable brown belt plots available.
