In summary:
Levels of traffic on two busy estates, March Cote in particular being narrow with cars parked each side. Fatal accidents have already occurred in these areas and this proposal brings the traffic through the estates. Double yellow lines may stop people parking outside their own homes but they will still have to park somewhere
The pollution that goes with this extra traffic and cars idling whilst in said traffic. The Council has committed to reducing its Carbon Footprint which is not capable with adding more houses only accessible through two busy housing areas
Flooding. Homes in Cottingley already are at risk from flooding. The report classified the proposed land as ‘medium to high risk of ground water flooding’ and made suggestions of how to avoid this but only for the new build home and NOT the current estate
Local schools unable to cope with extra demand
