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

Representation ID: 11986

Received: 20/03/2021

Respondent: Dr. Tom Wade

Representation Summary:

My reasons for objection is as follows:

• Access will be via Moor Lane, an overcrowded road with a lot of through traffic for a residential street. Potential for over 100 extra cars will make the road unsafe particularly for the children who live and play on it.

• Building on green belt land is likely to significantly and irreversibly damage natural habitats and eco systems within the village which will contribute to a rise in carbon footprint. This is against local and national government forward view. There is brown belt land that should be considered first.

• Village amenities are over a mile from the proposed site - seems illogical for family houses

• Addingham is hugely congested with multiple traffic problems at points through the historic village. Infrastructure should be considered well in advance of any new houses. The local school does not have capacity to take more children.
