In summary:
- the field at OX1/H is waterlogged and risks excess runoff and increased discharge in Bridgehouse Beck, contributing to flooding in Haworth.
- biodiversity will be reduced due to habitat loss
- access to the site is poor due to parking on Crossfield Road
- the pullout onto Moorhouse Lane is dangerous and risks accidents with a further 20-40 vehicles using it (2-4 per property)
- Oxenhope and surroundings lacks adequate services to support an additional 20-80 residents. E.g. capacity of doctors, school and coop.
- Driving through the village is already difficult at peak times, particularly past the coop and out through Leeming. This would be exasperated by further residents.
- Lack of frequent buses means it is difficult to rely on this as a sustainable way to commute.
- Internet speeds in parts of the village are poor and further demand will not help this.
