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

Representation ID: 11002

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: JO Steel Consulting

Representation Summary:

Landowner is to restrict the original proposal submitted area as far north as PROW 18. Add to the area the new Call for Sites submission shown edged blue on the attached plan.

New proposal represents a coherent area related to/adjoins the existing built-up-area and access can be obtained from a number of points.

PROW 18 to the north, and Hoo Beck to the east, offer new clear and defensible boundaries.

Proposal is more visually contained in landscape terms.

Close to bus stop providing an hourly service, extra houses proposed could lead to the current bus services being improved.

The proposals offer an opportunity to improve the surface of PROW 18.

Proposal will strengthen the eastern boundary visually/physically.

Suggested the proposal should achieve at worst a moderate rating across Purposes 2,3 and 4.

Site can be delivered now and housing allocation is justified.

Interest shown by housebuilders.

Assist in reducing the shortfall of a five year supply.
