1) This site has been turned down for housing once before. It is green belt and should not be built on. If development were allowed to the east of Moor Lane there is no reason to prevent further development beyond it stretching to Skipton Road, undermining the village’s rural character. 2) This site will exacerbate existing problems of drainage and flooding. There is insufficient drainage and flooding infrastructure in Moor Lane to accommodate 24 houses on this site. 3) The site is a mile and 200ft. uphill from the village centre. No one is going to walk or cycle to use village amenities. The site will generate an unacceptable level of additional traffic. 4) With AD1/H, AD2/H and ADF7/H and the new houses in Moor View, Moor Croft and the Timber Yard it will constitute a large estate of houses – this conflicts with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan.
