Impact/disruption from heavy traffic to and from the house building work above Oakworth Road and previously during the demolition and rebuilding of Oakbank School, the heavy loaded vehicles especially on Exley Road travelling at speed, up and down this steep, narrow double bended road was an accident waiting to happen. The access to and from the Greenfield site seems impossible to imagine. It is potentially very dangerous with school pupils coming and going from their access routes to the school.
Impact on buildings/dwellings of great local historical importance.

When the old farm buildings were demolished to build the “Low Fold Children and Family Centre” this had a major impact on the wildlife – the owls and bats disappeared.

The surrounding habitat is vital for their survival. The mature trees and quiet environment play a very play a very big part in their lives. They are safe to nest and breed, the food they need is all around for them. The variety of species are very special: owls, bats woodpeckers, jays wood pigeon’s doves, sparrow hawks, and many more too.
