There is insufficient primary school provision for the current housing. The local primary school, East Morton, is over subscribed. Additional housing would only exacerbate the situation.

There is a lack of public transport to the village & at peak times the bus is full of Bingley Grammar students going into Keighley meaning that residents of the village are unable to access the service.

The Waterside Fold estate has recently suffered from drainage problems which has caused significant access issues during the freezing conditions. I'm aware that in recent years, inadequate drainage has meant that several houses on the estate have been flooded when water has run off the farmers fields & the current drains were overwhelmed.

There are plenty of brown zones that could be redeveloped into housing without the need to build on greenbelt land.
