Access to this site appears to be via Manor Road, there is already a large amount of traffic using this route which poses a danger to foot traffic. School places are already limited. Local infrastructure cannot support more housing. Increased flooding is likely. Wildlife fauna and flora will be decimated. I am particularly concerned about the increase in traffic as on street parking is already a major problem within Cottingley, restricting access for bus services waste collection and delivery vehicles. Flooding is also a major concern as diverting run off water into Cottingley beck is only going to result in increased risk of flooding further downstream. This area is an important site for both native and visiting bird life as well as native flora. In summary this area cannot support further development.
