Regarding SH5/H and SH6/H.
1- Lack of infrastructure. 2-Less privacy. I expect more people will be walking down Branksome Drive into Hirst Woods and back again. 3- The last Green Belt land in this area. 4- More cars, traffic and air pollution (Potentially 200 cars). 5 - More noise and light pollution. 6-Less natural habitat for wildlife. 7- FLOODING. I can see this being a major problem. Already the drainage system is unable to cope with the amount of water produced by severe rainfall, especially with the beck that runs under Bingley Road (at the top of Branksome Drive) down into the River Aire. There are residents of Branksome Grove who have suffered surface water in their homes because the water had no where to go. I expect insurance premiums will rise. Who will stand that cost when flooding occurs.
