I have grave concerns regarding these developments and wish to object strenuously to them going ahead.

Concerns include;
Ground stability and drainage. Especially heightened flood risk to properties to the immediate North of the proposed site. Branksome Grove and Drive.
Greenfield run off rate increase. Underground streams/land drains are confirmed to exist. Ground water ingress will cause flood issues previously non existent.
Bats are known to nest here.
Loss of natural views.
Detrimental impact on nearby residential amenity.
Lack of infrastructure-transport links (including public transport, walking and cycling), drainage, educational, medicaletc).
Inability to cope with traffic volumes, linking as well to highway safety, added air pollution caused by vehicular traffic –especially in relation to larger housing developments of over 100 proposed units).

Further detrimental impact on already poor air quality.
Presence of viable alternatives –such as brownfield sites in Shipley or commercial premises repurposed for mixed residential/commercial.
