Respondent: The Great Northern Railway Trail Development Group

The Trail largely lies within the Zone C. Part of the policy states:
‘The South Pennine Moors SPD sets out a strategic mitigation scheme and a mechanism for the calculation of the financial contributions to mitigate recreational impacts on the SPA and SAC as a consequence of housing growth and subsequent population increases. The mitigation may be:
that the developer elects to offer, either on-site and / or deliverable outside the boundary of the development site, such as the provision of accessible natural greenspace and/or other appropriate measures; or in the form of a financial contribution from the developer’…
We ask that Bradford Council identifies the Great Northern Railway Trail as an opportunity to increase the amount of greenspace as a mitigation measure for schemes that come under this policy. This project needs to be registered as part of a mitigation management scheme. So far, it has been overlooked.
