Representation ID: 4098

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Natalia Middleton

Representation Summary:

Vehemently oppose. Oakworth overdeveloped. New housing estates at Hareton Way & Council owned Fletcher/Worth Valley Court & construction currently at Branshaw Park/Ebor Mills. Heavy traffic and congestion through the village already. Will cause additional congestion/pollution and health concerns. Huge strain on local amenities. (Doctors and School) Primary school Headteacher recently sent out email about the amount of traffic generated by the school site and how it is overwhelmed/dangerous. Proposed site OA1/H is GREENBELT and has protected status. Categorically should not be developed on. Boarders conservation area which raises wildlife/environmental concerns, regarding the removal of key open and protected spaces-invaluable to mental health and well-being too. Site is a wildlife corridor for deer, bats owls. Access is next to children's play area- this is dangerous. Pasture Ave can't take construction vehicles and a further 60+ cars. Worth Valley Walk/KWVR and tourism negatively compromised-loss of character.
