1. Traffic increases on Thorneycroft Road during construction phase and from the 139 new dwellings proposed for KY15/H. This is an ‘estate road’ with several pinch points, and is already used for much on-street parking, further “narrowing” it. So unsuitable for access to the proposed site. Saxilby Road feeds into Thorneycroft Road so is not an “alternative”.

2. There would need to be a much improved junction where Thorneycroft Road meets Swine Lane/Carr Bank/Carr Lane, especially if more housing is built on Carr Bank too.

3. Increased pressure on local primary schools from this large number of family homes proposed.

4. Loss of Greenbelt land (which can never be replaced), and increased flood risk issues with replacement of permeable fields by impermeable built surfaces, adding to speed of discharge to Canal and River Aire. Significant flood problems currently occur on Waterside Fold during major storms.
