The proposed development will put an extra 80 vehicles onto a roundabout that is already substandard and has a high accident/near-miss record.

Additional traffic coming into Eldwick from Heights Lane will increase air pollution near the roundabout, with longer queues and waiting times for all traffic.

For access to the local bus-stops a pavement would be needed in Heights Lane. This would reduce the width of the road and the ease and safety of vehicle access to the new properties.

In heavy rainstorms, the existing drainage on Otley Road is already inadequate and results in several inches of flooding near the roundabout. This will obviously worsen if there is additional surface water coming from Heights Lane.

It is unacceptable to build on green-belt land when there is an abundance of brown-field sites in Bradford that should be developed first.
