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

Representation ID: 11800

Received: 18/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Julie Cowan

Representation Summary:

Object to housing plan for AD6/H on basis of Green Belt assessment.
Impact on Openness: This site consists of undeveloped/open fields. There is no built form on the site (except for the dry stone wall field boundaries). Due to topography and existing landscape features there are wide and expansive views from (and into) the site across the wider Green Belt and beyond. The site is not visible from the main Road (A65) due to landscape buffers but is highly visible from the adjacent minor roads of Moor Lane. Development of the site would have major negative impact on the openness of the Green Belt in this location.

This was classed as a MAJOR risk to the impact on OPENNESS

I attach a photograph of the view from within the village boundary as you enter from the west on the Dales Highway and what will be there if developed.
