This area has no access from the main road and would make Nab Wood into a rat run endangering pedestrians and children. It also soaks up a lot of ground water from the nearby hills and streams. Removal for building will cause flooding lower down in the valley which impacts the already flood risk at Bankfield along the river through Hirst Wood and Coach Road to Baildon Bridge at Otley Road causing severe damage to homes and businesses. It is also natural habitat for fox, deer, badgers and numerous wildlife important to good ecology + raised air pollution
