Respondent: Mrs Christine Ironfield-Smith

I object on following grounds:
1. Destruction of a greenfield site - a valuable habitat for local flora and fauna and much needed green space for local residents and visitors to the area.
2. Adverse impact on the nearby South Pennine Moor SPA/SAC.
Increased risk of flooding and the impact on water quality for the adjacent canal.
3. Adverse impact of increased road traffic volumes - congestion, more accidents and air pollution from vehicle emissions.
4. Increase in demand for school places and registrations at GP surgeries and dental practices - will lead to additional pressure on stretched resources and less favourable outcomes for patients and practitioners.
5. Only minor positive effects predicted for most socio-economic themed SA Objectives that don't outweigh the disadvantages that this development will lead to.
