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

Representation ID: 15405

Received: 19/03/2021

Respondent: Highways England (Yorkshire & North East Team)

Representation Summary:

Housing Distribution

It is considered by CH2M that Highways England should support the aspirations of Policy SP8 – primarily Schedule 1 – which aims to locate the majority of new housing across the Plan period within Bradford, the Principal Towns and Local Growth Centres. It is considered by CH2M that these settlements tend to be more sustainable in nature with more transport hubs and increased network coverage.

Notwithstanding, these aspirations should be supported by a robust transport evidence base.
