Destruction of biodiversity, loss of flora, fauna, wildlife, agricultural land, views and amenity. Community identity will be diminished. No benefit from homes on green space. Potential brownfield sites review must be done

Local roads unsuitable to handle traffic increase due to road widths and roadside parking. Traffic lights needed at Bradford Road junction, which remains dangerous.

Lack of infrastructure (sewers, schools, GP, dentists, shops). Railway stations not within walking distance. Poor footpath/cycleway provision.

Will be impacts on surrounding road network from increased traffic including more congestion/queuing. Traffic lights will cause delay.

Will be increased risk of flooding due to higher river levels, increased surface water run-off, ground saturation and more water flowing into Nab Wood Beck. Culvert under Bradford Road cannot cope.

Carbon footprint not considered. Open space is a critical asset in supporting health/wellbeing. Green Belt boundaries can only be changed in fully evidenced/justified exceptional circumstances. SH5/H within World Heritage Site buffer. Contrary to Clean Air Zone. Traffic will exacerbate noise and air pollution levels.
