Main objection, new housing around Cottingley and Nab Wood proposed in current greenbelt. We will gradually lose the greenbelt altering character, environment, reducing grazing and altering drainage.
Proposals include 500+ new houses between sites off Glenview drive, bankfield and Marchcote Lane. If predominantly family housing, this will strain local school provision and increase traffic congestion even further.
The pandemic has fundamentally altered the need for office space. Longer term, numbers in office/working from home will take time to settle. I suspect former office space will become available . Repurposing this would be preferable - review required in ~5 years
