Local roads cannot cope with extra traffic, at peak times massive queues occur up the B6146 past the primary school plus up and down the B6269 extending down the Bingley bypass and B6265. Adding extra traffic at Lysander Way or near the primary school is unsafe, via March Cote Lane is neither safe nor feasible it is a residential street not a thoroughfare and a walking route to the primary school. The Avenue was made one way to reduce traffic and queueing off the estate, the proposed increase would surpass previously unacceptable levels.

When saturated, water runs off the field, across gardens drains on March Cote lane are overwhelmed, the beck does not cope, the secondary school car park floods, building would reduce absorption and exacerbate the problem, if residents protect their properties, problems further down will be worse eg the school would flood more often and worse.
