5. Over 220 objections have been raised by residents.

6. “Several people were worried about road links being made to March Cote Lane. This would not be allowed if any development took place and therefore the question of extra traffic loadings on Manor Road would not arise”.
7. “It would not be advisable to connect such a development in the existing narrow network of roads on the Cottingley estate”.
8. “It would not be feasible to gain access via a long cul-de-sac to Cottingley Moor Road” (for example Lysander Way).
9. “Cottingley Moor Road and Lee Lane would need widening”. (The 2021 developer has not offered to fund Bradford Council for this significant cost.)
10. “The road through Sandy Lane village could not be improved.” (This is a narrow stretch of road by Sandy Lane Primary School and a playground. On street parking makes this section of road especially narrow. It is an accident black spot, including a recent fatal motorcycle accident in 2019.)
11. “Extra stress would occur at Cottingley Bar.” (The stretch of B6265 near Grange Park Drive and has been the scene of serious and fatal accidents)
12. The WYMCC said “A development of this site would give rise to very significant increase in traffic generation which would give rise to unacceptable problems on both the local distributor roads and at the major road junctions nearby. The local highway authority therefore opposes proposals”
13. The Bingley Road Safety Committee said “The adjoining highways and access to main roads are considered inadequate to carry a considerable increase volume of traffic. It is doubted that the highways authority would have the financial capacity to carry out the necessary highway improvements”
