Population impact - 164 homes is too many and will change the character of Nab Wood. Glenview Drive and Glenview Road would become busy.
The junction of Glenview Road and Bankfield Road is already dangerous due to drivers using Glenview Road as a rat run.
Visual impact - housing on this site would tower over existing properties and be clearly visible.
Green Belt - this site provides a buffer between Shipley and Cottingley.
Wildlife - this site has natural woodland which is home to deer, amphibians and birdlife.
New Close Farm - the farm has listed buildings and the proposed site is much too close to it. It would ruin what is a beautiful little spot.
Main Roads - extra cars in Nab Wood, plus from the proposed sites SH5/H (Bingley Road) and SH6/H (Bankfield Farm) mean even more congestion for Bingley Road A650.
