Adverse impact on carbon emissions, traffic congestion and road safety due to the current operation of the B6146 Cottingley Road and Sandy Lane cross roads. It is therefore welcomed that the Council has identified these areas of concern.
Adverse impacts on environmental and residential amenity during construction. It appears that no regard has been given to the impacts arising from construction traffic when allocating the site. Access for construction traffic via Acacia Drive would result in HGVs travelling through a residential area where the combined effect of carriageway widths, junction layouts and on street parking results in difficulties for vehicles to pass each other.
Access to the site from Acacia Drive would result in a long cul-de-sac. This appears to contradict the Councils design standards if the site yielded 100 dwellings.
The site is not sustainable in transport policy terms - excessive distance from bus stops.
