This is a Greenfield site that provides absorbent land helping stem significant surface water run off. Building will increase levels of flooding to local properties and road surfaces which is a major and ever increasing problem.
Traffic congestion and gridlocked roads a major problem of Cottingley Cliffe Road to Cottingley Bar. A further 300+ cars in this area will not only increase gridlocked roads but SIGNIFICANTLY increase air pollution levels adjacent to and severely impacting Primary School age children. Direct conflict of Council promises to reduce air pollution, contradiction to introducing Clean Air zones?
This development is closer to Cottingley Primary School than homes already in Cottingley, reducing opportunity for existing families to find local school places. Access to local GP provision is another major concern as this is already under pressure. Significant concern, removal of natural habitat with the consequential loss of precious threatened British Wildlife within the area.
