In April 2013, responsibility for public health moved from the NHS to local authorities.
This existing landscape provides a healthy place encouraging people to exercise; increasing social interaction and reducing anti-social behaviour, isolation and stress, resulting in restorative, uplifting and healing for both physical and mental health conditions.

Existing roads are insufficient to cope with extra traffic. Routes along Meadway and Fenwick Drive are already access only, demonstrating the need for traffic control. Extra traffic from this development equals additional hazard to local residents, particularly at school times where there is no allocated parking area.
The Proposed land between Royds dam to Royds Hall Lane is known to have poorly documented, abandoned mine workings resulting in possible subsidence.
Health issues are related to high voltage power lines which overhang the proposed development.
The Development, excessive in scale given its location, will have a significant negative environmental impact on Judy Woods.
