•Volume of traffic generate from development is unsustainable. Moor Lane is already busy with cars from Turner Lane, Moor View and Moor Croft using it. Further development needs to allow for alternative access.
•Currently traffic control is a 20mph limit which is ignored. No supplementary measures in place to control speed on Moor Lane and there is been an increase in speeding since the completion of developments at Moor View and Moor Croft.
•Growing number of parked cars on Moor Lane making it difficult to pass. Development at 1b-1f Moor Lane has created a pocket of congestion and a blind spot. Risk of accidents is going to increase with the increase in traffic.
•Developments at Moor Lane and via Moor Lane have not provided sufficient parking leading to parking on the roadside. Adequate space for multicar households needs to be provided.
•Moor Lane/Turner Lane are popular walking locations. There is no pedestrian footpath at the top of Moor Lane nor beyond the access to the recreation field on Turner Lane.
•The increase in vehicles will significantly increase noise/pollution.
•Developments will mean the loss of Green Belt. It will fill in green spaces and considerably impact on the character and appearance of the village from the west.
•Developments will see the loss of trees which screen/improve the appearance of the village.
•Current drainage system unable to cope. During heavy rain water travels down Moor Lane depositing debris. Loos of the fields raises flooding concerns.
•The existing culvert between Moor Lane/Moor Park Drive already at capacity. Damage from water repeatedly emerging from culvert and breaking through the pavement is seen at Moor Lane under Skipton Road.
•Fields are an untouched sanctuary for small wildlife. Development will result in loss of habitat.
•Sites are a mile uphill from the centre of the village. There is limited access to public transport. All journeys to local amenities will be may by car increasing congestion, pollution, risk of accident and injury.
