I would like to object to the housing development of 155 dwellings at Marchcote Lane. This is Green Belt Land and is vital to land drainage in the area. There is also a significant risk to local wildlife - the land often hosts many endangered species including Curlew, Lapwing and Sky Larks. The area around Cottingley is absolutely gridlocked with traffic as a significant number of families bring their children by car to Schools locally from Sandy Lane and Heaton. We are on a direct route to Dixon's Cottingley which has very few children that walk from the local area. We also are on a direct route to Beckfoot and Bingley Grammar Schools - amongst the most over subscribed schools in Bradford. There are parking restrictions on the Lynsander estate due to the high numbers of cars that travel to the area to bring children to Cottingley Village Primary School.
