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

Representation ID: 1580

Received: 14/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Daniel Keating

Representation Summary:

This proposed access for this site would exacerbate the SIGNIFICANT existing road safety issues around the junctions of 1) bolton road and main st, 2) old station way and main st and 3) old station way and ridley fold and 4) old station way and west croft.

There are already safety and congestion issues created by traffic volumes and (legitimately) parked cars on all of these routes. 49 new residences could mean as many as 100 additional owners' vehicles using this corridor multiple times every day.

This would be a significant safety issue both 1) during construction and 2) once the residences are in place

In addition
1) the proposed site is green belt land (see earlier comments re: the % of proposed addingham development on GB vs the % for the rest of Bradford)
2) village infrastructure cannot support 49 new homes on this site
