The SH4/H proposed housing site is an essential green space, both environmentally and for walking and de stressing, in the built up, traffic congested neighbourhood of Nab Wood Drive. We are sandwiched between the exceptionally busy roads of the B6269 Cottingley Cliffe Road and the A650 Bingley Road, and are used as access between the two. In rush hours, Moorhead Lane, Ashfield Road, Bankfield Road, Bankfield Drive and Nab Wood Drive become rat runs to speeding cars. Day and night, speeding cars use our neighbourhood for circuits. 2-3 car households are already common. This development would tip the balance environmentally, adding still more fuel and noise pollution and stress to existing residents. The site is unsuitable for housing as the residents would be subjected to the same fuel and noise pollution, plus the risk of flooding from hillside springs. As a neighbourhood, we are trying to improve our area.
