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

Representation ID: 17298

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: The Great Northern Railway Trail Development Group

Representation Summary:

Station Road already has detailed planning permission. The Great Northern Railway Trail is to built alongside this housing development within the development site. However, it was struggle to get Bradford planners and the developer to assist by recognising the importance of this proposed section of the Trail as part of the National Cycle Network. We were treated as a third party with no weight to co-operate other than as a formal consultee. If planning policy is to change direction towards sustainable travel in future, then much more collaboration is needed from the outset.
