•Only green space left between Shipley and Bingley.
•Area is rich in wildlife.
•Houses bought in this area for views, open space and wildlife
•Area is needed for health and well-being, open views, river walk and wildlife.
•How will grassland and trees be protected? Loss of local agricultural land.
•Drainage is a concern. Area known for flooding. Building will put extra strain on the existing insufficient drainage systems. As well as the dwellings at the bottom of Branksome Drive/Grove, other properties will have more chance of flooding.
•A650 is already busy. More pollution will be caused with more vehicles.
•The Council is committed to lowering air pollution with a Clean Air Zone. How will this be accomplished with 180+ houses each with two cars?
•The side roads will become rat runs/bottlenecks.
•Branksome Drive/Road is a cul-de-sac and has the inability to cope with more traffic and heavy vehicles.
•Turning right from Branksome Drive will be even more dangerous with another 180+ houses.
