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

Representation ID: 14496

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: Antonio Melechi

Representation Summary:

Object to proposed building on land adjacent to Turner Lane, Parsons & Moor Lane.

1. Building will increase flood water/run off to the field of Heathness Road and other western sections of village. Perimeter walls are eroding and garden is flooded for several months of the year. This problem, exacerbated by the building of the dual carriageway to the west, has not been addressed. Current drainage cannot cope with eastern moving run-off.

2. Since there is no rail link and limited bus service, this will bring an inordinate amount of traffic through a small village, For the size of village, we have been already overburdened with new builds. School will not be able to cope with enlarged intake, and neither will our main road.

3. Proposed area is a gateway for walkers. It forms part of the Dales High Way and will completely transform the western side of the village.
