Respondent: Bingley Town Council

Housing Distribution - Bingley

In 2020 the partial review of the Core Strategy recommended a lower overall housing requirement for Bradford, including Bingley circa 800, Cottingley 0.

Bingley Town Council Draft Neighbourhood Plan Housing Chapter P28-29 states; ‘the level of housing planned for the town was highlighted as a major concern of respondents to the consultation undertaken as part of the preparation of this Plan. It showed that residents were not opposed to further house building but were very concerned about the scale of new housing planned to take place, much of it on land presently in the Green Belt. In particular, that it would be ‘disproportionate and not sustainable. It was placing significant pressure on already stretched facilities such as health, education, green spaces and the road network. In addition, it was adding to the already high levels of commuting away from the Parish for jobs and services.’

An independent Housing Needs Assessment was carried out for Bingley Town Council’s Draft Neighbourhood Plan in 2020.
