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

Representation ID: 1066

Received: 09/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Phil Wilson

Representation Summary:

Access to the proposed site is via an un-adopted roads ' Hillcrest Avenue & Spencer Avenue'. Increased heavy traffic will increase the damage to the road surfaces. These un-adopted roads aren't feeding a quite little cul-de-sac, they are already feeding 300+ houses.
Its my understanding that in past applications that have been granted by Bradford Council for housing developments accessed via these roads, it was part of the agreement that these roads would be brought up to standard by the developers, and adopted. The previous developers never completed the works, therefore were never adopted by the council, who never pursued the developers to ensure this element of the works was completed. A failure on the councils part that needs rectifying. Why should a few residents of Hillcrest Avenue & Spencer Avenue be responsible for the roads feeding properties with no responsibilities for the roads that access their properties?
