•The Heights Lane sites should be considered as one site. They will have a significant impact on the Prince of Wales Park, natural environment, road network and local infrastructure.
•Topography of the area will lead to most journeys to access local services being made by car.
•Heights Lane is a very busy road for multiple users. It is narrow with no footpaths. The lower section is only 6.9m wide. Any footpath would be substandard and reduce the carriage way, making it a very tight two-way flow.
•There is no sight line to the left at the junction of heights Lane/Otley Road/Warren Lane. To the right the sight line is severely restricted due to Pollard Avenue being set back from the main road. Currently the road is substandard and increasing its use will only exacerbate this.
•There are no special circumstances to indicate that these sites are needed. The site appraisals show there would be significant impacts and along with the significant highways issues leading to major highways safety implications, the only conclusion should be to remove the sites from the plan.
