There is an underground stream runs under Woodside Road to one of the proposed fields.
Pheasants live there and Canada Geese visit annually. Birds have had their hedgerows reduced over years and other varieties of wild life have to be considered.
Housing by canal would limit wildlife habitat further; Swans, ducks etc.
Trees with TPOs??
Entry to site yards from dangerous bend.
Pressure on utilities??
Recent building of houses (ongoing) not created enough 'affordable' housing for local needs. Silsden is more of a commuter town and no longer reflects the friendly atmosphere it once had. It is now reaching optimum size and local amenities close to breaking point.
All roads are inadequate, more so with more housing. Elliott Street junction overwhelmed, more so with more housing and the new school location will cause complete traffic chaos.
Local bus route is a minefield of parked cars.
