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

Representation ID: 11753

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Bernard & Therese-Marie Williams

Representation Summary:

Wish to object as follows:

• Despite this being an allocated brownfield site this site is abundant in wildlife. Any building whatsoever will disturb wildlife and destroy habitats.

• Beck will be disturbed and cause further habitat and wildlife problems.

• Area is tranquil and lovely. It is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the District and adjoins the Conservation Area. Would be eco-vandalism to build anything here. Would be completely at odds with planning guidelines in relation to the environment.

• Proposed housing would be at risk of flooding - at odds with local and national guidelines.

• Safe travel to school for local children would be at risk both before and after development with Back Beck Lane increasingly used as a rat run by traffic.

• Houses will be totally unaffordable to most first time buyers and young local residents.
