As a local resident, the proposals will have a hugely negative affect on the area, including making the 'rat-run' of Nabwood even more dangerous. There will be worsening traffic congestion at the exits from Nabwood.
Green belt should not be built upon, and the deer that I see frequently will have no pathway through. There are badgers, owls, Ghost moth and rare orchids found here. The Plan fails to properly factor in the carbon footprint of the new housing, despite the declaration of a ‘climate emergency’. I am concerned about the permanent loss of this large area of open, greenbelt land and the associated views from it. The footpath within this is well-used by local people walking between the Cottingley area and Nab Wood and it abuts the boundary of the proposed housing development.
