A major drawback for proposed developments in Long Lee/Thwaites is the infrastructure, drainage and roads. There is one road into Keighley, another to Harden and a historical cobbled steep road which is unsuitable for many vehicles. The main road leading to Keighley funnels traffic onto the one-way Coney Bridge which is constrained due to the river and overhead railway bridge. There is no justification for development. No housing need, no employment, one small shop and pharmacy. The primary school has limited places.

Further development will increase air pollution levels. The Plan is flawed as it fails to take a holistic approach to the cumulative impact on the health of residents.

The medical centre has not hosted GP appointments for 15 months and is currently used as a vaccination hub. One hourly bus service. Proposed sites fall within 7km of South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC conservation area.
