There has been a hurricane of objections, unfortunately when heavy rain has flooded the Marchcote Lane area, it can seem as if that disaster has already occurred. This is before 150+ houses built on a sloping field exacerbate the situation. The 300+ extra cars making daily journeys will doubtless increase the danger to children attending Cottingley Village Primary School. The B6265 and B6146 are chronically overloaded at school drop off/pick up times - at others merely extremely busy.

The report acknowledges "the site has a major potential for sprawl and would have a major impact on openness…there are no opportunities to create a stronger Green Belt boundary than the existing boundary".
