(SH6/H & SH5/H & SH4/H) sites are areas that already suffer flooding. If fields are no longer needed for grazing they should be rewilded or trees planted to reduce flooding lower down the hill.

I have seen three different species of owls hunting in the fields (barn, tawny and little). The tawny owl is Amber listed, numbers are declining and are of concern. There are otters on the Aire near Branksome.

Where will these households find doctors or schools for their children? Local schools are already full. The infrastructure isn't there.

Pollution from cars will increase. Outside lockdown, traffic is at a standstill here at peak times. There is a big crack in the pavement above Stairfoot farm. In time the wall and pavement will presumably crumble into the field below due to pressure from the volume of traffic.

Brownfield sites are available in Shipley. These should be used instead.
