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

Representation ID: 13077

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Christine Crowther

Representation Summary:

Object to developments on greenfield land when there are brownfield sites and buildings in Bradford.
Concern about the number of houses and impact on additional cars in the area.
Proximity to World Heritage Site and buffer zone
Access to West Lane via Baildon village is already challenging. The Grove, Newton Way and Westgate are already rammed with cars and can be dangerous to other drivers and pedestrians.
Local services and schools are already fully subscribed.
The Hope Hill 'water run-off' across the whole site is a major issue. This land is a natural soak away.
This moor 'water run off' would put additional pressure on the already challenged local drainage. I fear that Dene Hill will suffer flooding when the 'soak-away' fields are concreted over.
Proximity to recent development at Honeypot Lane.
There are a number of large trees on the site - TPOs should be placed on them now.
