I object to the proposed site on Crossfield Road.
There is abundant habitat at the proposed site which would invariably be affected.
The increase in housing, whether at Crossfield Rd, or Cross Lane in turn will affect the highways. The roads are currently already struggling with parking a big issue, especially around retail sites in the village and the school, in particular around the Co-op which is a bottleneck.
This village is in an area of outstanding beauty and a hotspot for tourists and walkers. Should Oxenhope be developed further, this will in turn affect what attracts walkers to this area therefore the economy reliant on tourism.
Surely there are still brown sites undeveloped within the Bradford District with existing infrastructure? The fact that these proposed fields (Crossfield Road and Cross Lane) drain into the beck which so often floods at Haworth should be a great cause for concern!
