Traffic
Major concern due to the no of vehicles using Bankfield Rd as a rat run from Cottingley Cliffe Road down to the A650. This makes roads in the area dangerous for children. This a grave concern which additional traffic as the result of development of site SH4/H will only exacerbate.
Air Pollution
The significant increase in cars for this development circa 300 (plus SH5/6) would result in a significant rise in Air Pollution,. Air improvement must be a key consideration given the impact ‘poor’ air quality can have on the quality of lives of residents, in particular the young and elderly.

The lack of supporting infrastructure. ‘Good’ schools are also full, the plan makes no reference to addressing this.

Greenbelt site
In existence to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land open. The plans SH4/5/6 do nothing to support the principals of these sites and contravene their very purpose.
