This is a heavily used green space utilised by dog walkers and for exercise. Building upon this land will not only deprive local people of a green space they've been using for decades but will also increase traffic on nearby Kirkgate with a resulting increase to air pollution. Many homes in the area around Wycliffe Road do not have a garden and this green space is consequently used as a spot to relax, meet up with neighbours and as a picnic area. Losing this area to housing would deprive the local population of a valued green space and increase congestion on neighbouring roads.
