WHILST THIS AREA CAN SUPPORT SOME MODEST DEVELOPMENT, THE LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE, IN PARTICULAR THE SINGLE LANE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLED RAILWAY UNDERPASS AT Ben Rhydding RAILWAY STATION WILL REQUIRE ENLARGING TO A TWO LANE ROAD, AS WILL THE SINGLE TRACK IRON BRIDGE OVER THE WHARFE ON COUTANCES WAY. THIS SITE WILL REQUIRE ACCESS DIRECTLY ON TO COUTANCES WAY. IDEALLY IT SHOULD ALSO BE LINKED BY A TWO LANE ROAD OVER OR UNDER THE RAILWAY LINE TO THE PROPOSED WHEATLEY GROVE SITE. WITHOUT THIS ESSENTIAL UPGRADING THE LOCAL ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE SIMPLY WILL NOT COPE WITH THE INCREASED TRAFFIC VOLUMES. DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE SYSTEMS WILL ALSO NEED SIGNIFICANT UPGRADING.
