Hi
As a resident of East Morton I support in principle the overall objective for the village ,which involves the development of a site on Street Lane on the northern boundaries of the village(EM1/H)
It would be good if this housing was 'affordable' or publicly rented accomodation and that design standards were of 'passiv house' standard.
I am,however,concerned about access to any such development which is up a very narrow lane with blind bends.
The road is used to access West Morton and as a top road to Silsden and Ilkley.The increased traffic would I think cause difficulties unless the road was widened close to the development.
Close to the proposed development the road often floods as water comes off surrounding fields.I guess this would also be a potential problem
