•We have experienced general flooding in the area and despite mitigating actions this is still an ongoing issue. More housing will create bigger future problems
•The site is close to and falls within the protection zone for the SPA/SAC. There are a number of threatened bird species and the field is used as an important wildlife corridor and has been rewilding in a very natural way over a number of years.
•Bats regularly fly around the proposed site and nest both on and close by to the site. The site is a major source of insects on which the protected bats feed.
•As a significant green space in the centre of the village this supports the Bradford Council wellness aims and policy.
