Concerned regarding the impact on the infrastructure of the village - highways narrow, steep roads, school - already difficult for local children to secure a place, medical/ healthcare - small practice to meet needs of growing community, utilities - pressure on sewerage and drainage, particularly area off Sykes Lane. The village is already busy with traffic and parking difficulties. The access suggestions for OA2/H present further difficulties and potential safety concerns at both points. Potential traffic safety concerns leading onto main Keighley/Oakworth Road but worse still an emergency access suggestion via Victoria Road already difficult to negotiate as both a driver or pedestrian. The evidence that the village needs a further 95 dwellings is unclear. Both sites have green designations and these should be protected. More investment in developing the town of Keighley to enhance its character and attraction would be of benefit.
