I object to this site because:
It is green belt
It is over 400m from the nearest bus stop making it unsustainable - there are no rail links in the village and the level of public transport is low
The site is hard to access given the fact that traffic will have to go up the main street which already struggles with the existing traffic flow - an extra 49 dwellings would cause a significant increase in traffic flow
It is also a long way and uphill from the village center
It is close to the South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC and development would have an adverse impact on wildlife
The proximity of the bypass will have a negative impact on mental health
There are few job opportunities in the village and local schools are full
There are many brownfield sites within the area which have better job opportunities/transport links
