In Public Health and Landscape 2013 “responsibility for public health moved” “to local authorities”. The drastic green space loss from this development will be detrimental to the mental “health and wellbeing” of the residents of Woodside. The popular walk in the area from Royds Hall Lane to Royds Dam would be adversely affected, impacting on physical health due to reduced opportunities for exercise. Heath issues are associated with housing underneath 400KV power lines.
Existing roads are unsuitable for the extra traffic from another 300 homes (Meadway and Fenwick are already access only routes), posing additional hazards to local children, especially pupils at Woodside school.
Land to be developed between Royds Dam and Royds Hall Lane has many undocumented mine workings. Therefore, homes built on this land would be substandard due to significant risk of subsidence.
The proposed development will have significant negative environmental impact on nearby Judy Woods
