Representation Summary:

I object to a building development in the Greenfield sites HA3/H and HA2/H because of its destructive environmental impact on wildlife including numerous birds listed, hedgehogs, butterflies and trees.

The local Primary Schools cannot accommodate an extra 100+ children from houses at HA2/H, HA3/H and Ebor Mills.

The local roads cannot safely accommodate the increased volume of cars. Especially on Ebor Lane (narrow with blind bends) but also at the Ebor Lane/Lees Lane junction (difficult dangerous junction) and the Cryer Meadows Lees/ Lane junction. Ebor Lane is very dangerous for children to walk up to school as no footpath from Ebor Mill up to Mytholmes Lane, it is very narrow (only single car in places) and has blind bends. Any parents walking children up this lane to school would be at risk of serious injury or death. I doubt if any parents would risk this and will thus drive to school considerably increasing the traffic on Ebor Lane and Lees Lane with ensuing traffic congestion and increased risks of road traffic crashes and injury.
