I object strongly to the proposal for 155 houses in the Marchote Lane area of Cottingley. The infrastructure is simply NOT THERE and is totally insufficient to support any increase in traffic. Even without the impossible chaos which regularly results in the total blockage of Cottingley Cliffe Road from 09:00 a.m and 3:00 p.m onwards by dozens of cars (occupying the whole of each side of the road) parked by Parents doing "the school run") the access into Cottingley Cliffe Road (the only main Road "serving" the Cottingley area), is already completely inadequate. Traffic is completely gridlocked, and it can take over half an hour to travel the half-mile between the top of Cottingley Cliffe Road and the A650 at the bottom. Cottingley is already "gasping" for breath - and desparately in need of MORE, not LESS, Green Belt. The current situation is untenable. It must not be exacerbated.
