Representation ID: 16103

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Glyn and Cathy Levis

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

1. All sites are served by inadequate road access.

2. None of these proposed sites are on public transport routes, which will lead to an increase in road traffic in all areas and is contrary to sustainability policies

3. None of the developments are within 15 minutes walk of a railway station or town centre, in contravention of the local authority sustainability policies

4. Flooding, all these sites are wet sites or contain standing water. The removal of these sites will increase the existing high flood risk within the Aire Valley.

5. Safety – All sites will exit onto narrow lanes or a busy mini roundabout in the case of the Heights Lane developments –these lanes are popular routes for walkers and runners, cyclists and horse riders.

6. Insufficient existing public services. No one of these developments are within the priority areas for the school. This will mean additional car journeys to transport to other schools.
