First I would ask why valuable green belt land is being used rather than other options.

The addition of 40 more homes will have significant impact on the village and its residents. This is a relatively small number of house but potentially creates disproportionate impact on the local community.

- traffic and related matters is already a big issue on Otley Road and I would expect this to become even worse post lockdown. The addition of additional traffic to the mini roundabout at the top of Park Road will create safety issues and congestion.
- From my limited knowledge local schools do not have spare capacity and the addition of additional families will further exacerbate the situation.
- There is a possibility that the addition of additional homes will create drainage issues leading to flooding,
-Finally there is , in my view, the destruction of valuable greenbelt land and wildlife etc.
