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

Representation ID: 13360

Received: 20/03/2021

Respondent: Susan Jerram

Representation Summary:

- Green Belt should be protected.
- Further housing along West Lane (and elsewhere) would merely exacerbate traffic problems in the area.
- Impact on Saltaire World Heritage Site and buffer zone.
- Water services would need upgrading (issues with strong pressure)
- Many local green areas already lost to development
- Local amenities required to support developments (additional play areas, parking, additional school places, guaranteed existence of the library, centres for cultural, social and sporting and leisure activities, especially if the Ian Clough centre closes.)

Environmental effects/flooding. Sites are on a hillside running along the edge of the moor known for springs and high rainwater run-off which in the past has affected houses lower down the hill (on Lucy Hall Drive and Prod Lane). Lower Baildon and the Aire Valley bottom road at Shipley are prone to flooding. Proposals exasperate problem.
