Although this is a brownfield site , it is a site of high biodiversity. The best place for butterflies and a wide range of birds. It would disturb the Back Beck/Long Riddings green/blue infrastructure corridor which is used extensively by wildlife and people - it allows families and independent children safe traffic free passage to the primary school. The whole area could be designated as a Local Greenspace and managed as a village wildlife reserve.
The proposed access would further damage wildlife and biodiversity. For five houses the village would lose a lot and gain little.
