I object to proposals SH4/5/6/7 as they will result in increased traffic on an already struggling transport link around Bradford Road and the Bankfield area. This will cause a reduction in the air quality which is already below the recommended standard. There will be a reduction in green spaces for residents use and the adverse impact on local habitat and wildlife. Flooding in the area is already an issue and these developments will not improve the situation and adversely impact drainage. With nearly an extra 400 houses in a small area no account has been taken for the demand on infrastructure such as health practices and education. Local secondary schools are oversubscribed currently with few local children gaining a place at Titus Salt school for example, despite this being included in the planning as a school providing for the area, leading to increased distances travelled for education.
