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

Representation ID: 15486

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Claire Healey

Representation Summary:

Strongly object to plans to remove fields BI4/H & BI8/H in Eldwick from the Green Belt. Would have a massive, negative impact on the local area including:

1) The environment, wildlife & landscape - isn't this what the Green Belt status is supposed to protect?
2) Traffic & pollution - Eldwick is already becoming an extremely busy village with a lot of traffic. The road infrastructure would not cope with the extra traffic
3) Flooding to existing local house has been a big area of concern
4) Education - The school is already over-subscribed. Where would the extra children go to school?
5) Other services such as doctors would be impacted
6) Why not build on other non-green belt sites in the Bingley area to meet building targets?

Do not want to see Eldwick lose its beautiful Green Belt land to housing.
