The land proposed supports a great deal of biodiversity. I have been astonished by the nature at the back of the house, with bats, many moth caterpillars, including the elephant hawk moth, all sorts of beetles and so many birds. In the current climate crises I think it is crucial that we protect the wildlife we still have. Have surveys been undertaken? The site is also proposed to come off Halifax Road, a major route for large lorries out of Keighley and is already very congested with fumes and traffic jams making daily life for people living there unhealthy and miserable. The local primary schools are full. To add more houses to a community that cannot support the people living there with jobs and schools would be foolish and only encourage more commuting which would contribute to more pollution.
