•Development would have a negative impact on habitats/biodiversity of the area, especially around Prince of Wales Park, a haven for wildlife. A place where many people find solace and a vital place of peace/tranquillity.
•Development would negatively impact the visual landscape on the area of the village.
•Increased light pollution from buildings at night will harm the birds, moths, bats which make up the local wildlife.
•Heights Lane is already busy. The roundabout at the junctions with Warren Lane/Otley Road are extremely busy/hazardous, especially to cross on foot, but also when driving.
•Heights Lane is narrow and there is no footpath, so even if residents were to walk to the bus stops on Otley Road or to Eldwick school it would be very dangerous.
•Vehicles drive at high speed on Heights Lane despite its narrowness and short visibility due to a bend in the road. Extra housing brings many more vehicles to the area.
