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

Representation ID: 1136

Received: 10/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Ron Beaumont

Representation Summary:

This area is green belt. Footpaths and open environment are valuable leisure assets. This land links to open access moorland via old paths and tracks which have archaeological sites in the vicinity. The old path that marks the top boundary of the existing development will become squeezed between houses affecting amenity and wildlife and destroying the boundary with the green belt.

Trees will be affected.

139 houses will bring an estimate of at least 150 additional vehicles using already limited access to / exit from existing development.

Traffic created by this development would increase vehicles exiting on a bend close to a traffic controlled single file canal bridge.

Environmental and social services in the area are already under stress with sewage a particular issue.
