-Impact on environment and wildlife - as many as 30 species inhabit this area, in addition to insects and small mammals (such as voles, mice and hedgehogs).
-Would represent a loss of a wildlife corridor.
-Other Brown Field sites available which are more suited to these proposals.
- Unsustainable pressure on local amenities
-Impact on local school capacity. This, in addition to the Ebor Mills development, would result in approximately 100+ further school places which would be impossible for local schools to accommodate.
- Road Safety - Traffic from new houses onto Lees Lane, would increase the traffic on what are already busy roads. Further exacerbated by the difficulties around the availability of footpaths at parts of Lees Lane.
- Hebden Road and Ebor Lane are already in serious risk of becoming serious accident blackspots.
-Planning - previous plans submitted for this site include parts of several private gardens areas. Boundaries must be checked
