SH4/H Infrastructure / Traffic

Bankfield Rd, Glenview Rd & Glenview Drive are not suitable to cope with the extra traffic 160+ houses will generate. The current rat-run through this area is already dreadful, especially at school-times.

Existing infill building and extension works in this area creates a sea of Contractor vehicles that are hard to navigate already.

Air and noise pollution from Cottingley New Rd and Bingley Rd is already a concern. They are basically blocked solid at busy times already.

Ground Drainage / Flooding

This area already suffers from existing water course issues. The existing flora in SH4/H slows and absorbs water, thus protecting the lower Aire around the river. If we continue removing this for new builds, infill and garden losses, the Aire Valley may resemble the Calder Valley.

Protection of Greenbelt

Greenbelt should not be considered until all brownfield and ex commercial opportunities have been exhausted.
