•Encroachment on the Green Belt. A lovely unspoilt area with a variety of wildlife. With a significant number of new houses, increased population density and associated noise pollution this will no longer be an idyllic and restful countryside retreat.
•Increased traffic on Langley Lane. Often doubled park cars and traffic congestion on Langley at school drop-off and pick-up times. Notices advising against double parking were ignored. Double yellow lines only moved the problem a short way up and down the road. At these times getting out of Langley Lane onto Roundwood Road and then Otley Road can be a significant frustration. Nitrous Oxide pollution will also increase significantly exacerbated by traffic jams and damage people’s health.
•The footpath that runs across the top of Tong Park at the bottom of Ladderbanks Lane bridle path can get very muddy. Water that runs off down the hill from the proposed development will significantly exacerbate this problem.
•There are alternative Brownfield sites in the area which could be used for house building.
