The proposed plans would have a severe impact on the existing residents of Cottingley.
The proposed access would put strain on an already stretched Road network, there are daily near misses at the roundabouts at the junction of Manor Road and Cottingley Cliffe Road and several accidents have already occurred within the last 12-months.
The existing drainage hasn't been modified in at least 20 years and further building on the proposed site could only increase the drainage and flooding issues due to lack of land absorption if further properties were built. March Cote Lane frequently has water draining through properties during heavy rain. Cottingley first school is already oversubscribed with people from outside the Cottingley area. The area proposed development is an area of greenbelt with wildlife and birds which would be lost. The development would change a character of the community, destroying the green Outlook of the area
