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

Representation ID: 16380

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Eloise Hall

Representation Summary:

Would add further strain to the community:

1. Schools over-subscribed;

2. Peak time traffic cannot withstand further cars – from environmental perspective and cause inconvenience to pedestrians;

3. Destroying high quality agricultural land;

4. Loss of important wildlife habitats and cause harm to the natural eco-system;

5. Destroying natural field patterns;

6. Visually damaging the landscape/setting;

7. Would be no open space, changing the feel of the community/area;

8. Additional people/cars poses road safety risks;

9. Threatens town centre’s vitality/viability;

10. Better alternatives available – plenty brownfield/other green belt land that would less impact.

Area is at maximum capacity. Land is currently a conservation area, although this will expire, it does not change its outstanding natural beauty- needs to remain as it is.

Expect that having outdoor space would be paramount in future and Council not to consider cramming more people into small villages. Need space/distance – adding more people to a stretched community is not right decision.

Removing Green Belt will have detrimental effect on individual’s mental health and community.
