SH4/H. INCREASE TRAFFIC ON BANKFIELD ROAD. ALREADY A RAT RUN, SEVERAL ACCIDENTS IN RECENT YEARS. INCREASED POLLUTION. BATS, OWLS, DEER AND OTHER WILDLIFE AFFECTED BY BUILDING WORK AND LOSS OF HABITAT. BUILDING ON GREEN BELT LAND WILL DECREASE WATER ABSORPTION AND INCREASE RISK OF FLOODING LOWER DOWN THE HILL. AREA IS A NATURAL BREAK BETWEEN SHIPLEY AND BINGLEY. NEW HOUSING WILL JOIN NABWOOD WITH COTTINGLEY AND DRAMATICALLY INCREASE UNINTERRUPTED SUBURBAN SPRAWL. TREES WILL BE CUT DOWN IN AN AREA WITH A TPO. BRADFORD COUNCIL HAVE CONSISTENTLY REJECTED RESIDENTS APPLICATIONS TO CUT TREES DOWN AND ISSUED LARGE FINES BUT SEEM OK WITH HOUSE BUILDERS DOING THE SAME.
