Respondent: Mr David Templeton

Objection based on:-
Traffic- currently barely sustainable, with long queues and standing traffic at peak times causing air pollution (clean air zone). 200+ extra cars would bring the area almost to a permanent standstill and increase rat-running throughout the area;
Biodiversity- deer, foxes, badgers, many bird species including sparrowhawk and red kites are all regular visitors
Protection of green belt and open spaces- in the lockdowns, access to nature has had a huge influence on well-being and mental health
Retention of local identity- schemes such as this threaten Nab Wood's autonomy and risk creeping assimilation of areas around, such as Cottingley
