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

Representation ID: 1151

Received: 10/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Ben Town

Representation Summary:

There are a significant number of established trees which are home to owls and other important wildlife - why use this precious green space when other areas without woodland are available including brown field sites. If access is to be onto Oakworth Road via existing Private Road I believe this would make the already incredibly busy road and juncture extremely dangerous (there would be 3 roads meeting Oakworth Road on a dangerous bend) this would appear to require traffic lights. This increase in traffic plus loss of green space and trees around schools would impact on air quality - an impact assessment needs to be carried out on traffic safety and air quality. 125 homes on this small area of land seems extremely high compared to local housing density. Access to the plot seems extremely difficult plus how could the footpath be incorporated into the plans.
