Although there is a choice of 2 arterial roads a lot of traffic will inevitably come to Bingley Road and Saltaire High Street and will significantly increase standing traffic and add to the already illegal level of air pollution. Although the council has a clear air zone plan this is not yet implemented so may or may not be effective. Also additional traffic would be domestic and not included in the clean air charges. I would strongly object to the removal of any wooded area shown in the plan as this directly contradicts the council policy of planting more trees. Requirements for builders to replace trees are not effective as the lack of replacement trees at the top of Carlton Road development has shown. Nor does the council have sufficient resources to ensure compliance.
