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

Representation ID: 15212

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Freda Butterfield

Representation Summary:

Tried to understand the outline planning BMDC have intentions of carrying out in the lovely green space city of ours.

Housing - there are enough empty homes in city to accommodate what is needed, taking account of those left derelict and empty apartment buildings closed for being unsafe. Council has powers to intervene. Several planning applications for apartments have been passed in the last six months.

Green Belt should not be used in any circumstances – there are enough brownfield sites available for housing.

Has anyone thought about schools - how they are going to accommodate the children.

Has thought been given to water supply? Bradford still encounters droughts - will not ease with growing population.

With all the properties, there will be extra pollution in age of climate change. No use just looking at the city centre - the rest of city with major roads and excessive housing needs to be considered.
