It is a designated Greenfield site and therefore should not be used for housing.
Altogether, it is a site that would require a great deal of investment before any buildings for a young and mobile population can be considered.
Each new dwelling, i.e. 164 will have to accommodate at least 164 private cars to enable young children, the disabled or aged residents to reach schools, hospitals, doctors, dentists and shops. Even taxis, removal and delivery vans, the local refuse services, repairers, the police require road space and/or access. Few people are fit enough to run or walk down and up hill.
The Cottingley Cliff Road is already a very busy and noisy road and the same goes for the A650 at the bottom of the hill, where a large development is planned for the site alongside the Bankfield Hotel causing even more traffic congestion.
