Respondent: Mrs Lucy Brown

Concerns on the following areas:
- Conservation of natural environment for existing wildlife on site, eg bats and owls.
- Protection of TPO on existing trees supporting the above wildlife.
- Further increased traffic congestion, adding to already busy local roads as ‘rat runs’, increased following recent additional housing off Oakworth road. Adding traffic to already poor condition roads.
- Reducing further the already limited greenfield sites in the west ward, which has seen significant housing development on in recent years.
- Increased noise and light pollution
- Drainage and flooding, significant drain overflow occassions since recent building work, also adding further damage to afforementioned roads.
- Reducing light to current food growing land and green houses on neighbouring properties.
- There are many brownfield sites in and around keighley already and in coming years, existing retail sites could be converted to residential as the retail demand reduces.
