This site is a wildlife corridor with well used PROW access all around it. The amount of houses proposed without regard for access to local amenities nor provision for extra population will will have a detrimental affect to the people of Shipley. The access through the narrow Glenview Road will add to the already very busy junctions onto the A650 and the surrounding roads. The air pollution level is already at WHO action levels, and though the Council have acknowledged this with the Clean Air Zone, this development will surely make things worse.
The watercourse at the bottom end of this development is culverted under the A650 and has flooded on the road in recent years. The stream then runs down the back of houses on Branksome Drive to the River. Water retention works can only do so much and flooding is already a frequent event
