Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 10036

Received: 16/03/2021

Respondent: Mr M Wilcock

Representation Summary:

a; It is unacceptable to be developing on Green Belt land, in a village that is unable to cope. the much loved character of the village would be lost.
b; Already the traffic using this area does not observe the 20 mile limit. Most new housing would consist of two cars, increasing pollution
c; The drainage system is at a maximum and will increase the risk of flooding.
d; Addingham does not have the facilities for a much increased population. A basic bus service, no trains anymore. What schools will the children attend ? there is only a Primary School that is at capacity, further education involves travel to Ilkley or Skipton.

It is obvious that Bradford has brown sites that would be more suited to regeneration, close to schools and transport, than destroying precious green land in Addingham.
