I would like to object to this proposed site for residential development in the strongest possible terms. There is currently no road access and any developed would meet the Keighley Road at a steep angle at a point of already diminished visibility, creating a dangerous situation for all road users. The number of dwellings proposed would add to traffic in Oakworth, which is already over-burdened. There is only one accessible shop within walking distance, which even before Covid often had queues outside it at peak times. Existing residential roads in this area of Oakworth, several of which are in a terrible state, reflect the difficulty of maintaining roads to a suitable standard on such a steep slope, and this development would only exacerbate this issue.
