Our objections to the application are:
- damage to the setting of the Oxenhope station conservation area;
- building on yet another green field will result in the loss of natural habitats;
- increased pressure on the local roads, with potential for each house to have 2 cars = 48 cars!
- increased pressure on local doctors, schools and dentist. There are no doctor surgery or dentist provision in Oxenhope.

The council should look to use up the brown field sites locally that could be developed for housing - for example a large site at Denholme Clough has been derelict for many years. Also, regenerate the council/social housing that are empty and boarded up before building on green fields. It always seems this is the easiest option for both builders and councils.
