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

Representation ID: 17155

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Labour)

Representation Summary:

The site is in close proximity to the Judy Woods Local Wildlife Site. It is difficult to see how it could be possible to develop this site without significant damage to local wildlife and the ecosystems.

Development will have an adverse impact on the setting of Royds Hall and the approach to it.

The majority of the site lies within a 200m buffer zone of HT power lines to the south. The eastern part of the site, lies within the outer tier consultation zone for a HSE designated Major Hazard Site

There is also a high risk for former coal mining activities including possible mine entry shafts.

The local infrastructure is not capable of sustaining a development of this size. Meadway in particular is narrow and not suitable for even the current levels of traffic.

This site is neither suitable nor sustainable.
