Respondent: Cottingley Greenbelt Conservation Group

I am extremely worried about the increase in the amount of traffic this plan will incur. I timed myself on Friday morning and I sat waiting to get out of my street on to the main road opposite The Sun Inn for exactly 4 minutes 32 seconds, an unacceptable amount of time and this is in lockdown! Matters are even worse at the beginning and end of the school day. The new plans will only increase this traffic.My other objection is the effect on wildlife. I regularly walk up Marchcote lane and use the paths up to Lee Lane and the woods. I have seen deer on those fields on numerous occasions and any development would be catastrophic to local wildlife.Generally I believe that green belt land should stay greenbelt. It prevents sprawl and prevents communities like Cottingley from losing their unique identity.
