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

Representation ID: 1450

Received: 13/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Andrew Herring

Representation Summary:

Access to the site is completely inappropriate - vehicle access for the dwellings using already congested access onto the Scalebor Estate with several 90 degree bends, including a block paved section of Ron Lawton Crescent used by all pedestrians due to the lack of proper pavement (necessitated by the road width) - this is also where the main pedestrian access onto/off the entire estate is. This would prove very dangerous for pedestrians, including pushchair and wheelchair users. The significant distance of the site from the main shops/amenities of BinW would increase car use.
The loss of wildlife habitat would be significant, the mature gardens form an important link between two areas of woodland. The undeveloped nature of the site is important for retaining water and reducing the volume of water entering the drainage system/river. Strongly opposed - highly unlikely that local schools could accommodate increase in pupil number.
