•Significant climate changes are bringing about increased rainfall and flooding in Cottingley area.
•Site provides absorbent land that stems surface water run-off. Existing drainage is inadequate to deal with sudden increases in water running off the hills. These sites should be preserved and enhanced.
•The Council should be making provision for water management not reducing such measures.
•Increase in houses will generate an increase cars and traffic being funnelled into Manor Road – the only exit from the estate.
•The Manor Road/New Cottingley Road has been a problem for traffic planners. Increased traffic will make the problem worse.
•The bus service from the estate is useless.
