Transport Conclusion
Bradford Council have failed to address sustainability as defined in the NPPF Section 2, paras 7 to 14.

There are no transport plans which currently exist to address transport infrastructure issues at Burley in Wharfedale, or elsewhere in the Wharfe Valley.

The 2040 transport strategic ‘vision’ is not yet defined for the Bradford District, nor does it provide any details of:

• Detailed infrastructure improvement requirements. At present they are simply being considered.
• No delivery timings for improvement to infrastructure.
• Fall back and recovery positions are not documented.
This is the minimum requirement for the Local Plan to respond to rapid change.
• No set budgets, to ensure that these projects can be delivered on time, or at all.

All of which are required to achieve ‘sustainability’ as defined in the NPPF.
