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

Representation ID: 15450

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Lesley Schofield

Representation Summary:

The Bronte Way public footpath, which is a draw for tourists and has high cultural significance, passes through the centre of this space and would spoil the original route.

Grade II listed buildings are adjacent to site.
Development of the site would have a moderate impact on the Bronte landscape and long distance views.

The site is within a Green Infrastructure Corridor.

The site is located within the 7km buffer of the SPA/SAC.

Site has poor access from a single lane, unmade track, the egress being at an angle to the busy Hill Top Road at the junction with Wicken Lane. Rural roads not suitable for increased traffic load.

The site has been identified as having potential alternative uses as a tree planting area and/or allotments which is far more environmentally friendly.

Detached from local services due to poor public transport and topography.
