Representation ID: 10858

Received: 19/03/2021

Respondent: JO Steel Consulting

Representation Summary:

Site is located within flood zone1.

Development accepted - 91/04052/OUT, vets surgery.

Residential development to SE(a cul de sac Waverley Avenue) - footings in the site show an intention to extend cul de sac.

GB purpose 1 moderate score is not justified, should be Low.

GB Purpose 2 - will not result in neighbouring towns merging. All are part of Riddlesden settlement.

The analysis overlooks the fact that Riddlesden merges into Crossflatts .

Purpose 3 - within a well-established urban area, there is no development within the site, that applies to most of the sites allocated.

This submission respects the boundary between flood Zone 1&2. - very important it is not physical nor visible, a new one would need to be put in place.

The site fronts onto a 10min bus route

1.5 h proposed, one of most sustainable sites in District.

Site can be delivered now.

Development will reduce the shortfall in five year supply.
