•Changes represent an unjustified encroachment on greenbelt, impairing enjoyment of surrounding area. It represents a material deviation from the NPPF which the plan claims to adhere to.
•Building houses on the greenbelt between Ilkley and Burley is not an emphasis on the redevelopment of brownfield sites or a measure/sensitive approach to greenbelt release. The plan contradicts itself against stated intensions in paragraphs 1.1.3 and 1.2.9.
•The Plan’s spatial vision does not include any protection of the greenbelt and is not in line with the NPPF. Its absence leads to the belief that the council have not considered the greenbelt seriously and that the plan is not in line with the government’s policies it claims to be. Although Policy SP5 mentions greenbelt it need needs to be in the spatial vision.
•Unsure there is legal basis to continue with the plan given the above points. You have not done due-diligence by incorporating local opinion before creating such an insensitive proposal.
•Development of brownfield sites in Bradford should be the focus of the plan, aimed at regenerating a deprived area.
•Development should be focused where it is needed rather than being distribute across the district.
