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

Respondent: Victoria Leach

Representation Summary:

Object against proposed development on Heights Lane, Eldwick (refs: BI4/H & BI8/H)

Proposed location is Green belt. Further areas of brownfield land will become available due Bradford being part of West Yorkshire Combined Authority reviewed. No need to build on Green Belt land.

Access is a narrow country land with no pavements, which opens up onto a busy and often dangerous roundabout.

Residents are opposed to development. Will have detrimental effect on residents, the village, nature and the environment, and increase noise and transport.

Infrastructure cannot cope. Schools are oversubscribed and GP surgeries cannot cope.

Council has failed to show that there are ‘exceptional circumstances’ as to why development should be allowed on Green B. Without providing this information they should stay as Green Belt land.
