Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 17527
Received: 22/03/2021
Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Labour)
Concerned with total numbers allocated towards Bradford South – seems disproportionately high compared to other areas.
Concerned about taking away green space in Royds – a deprived area, which needs/relishes its green spaces.
Of particular concern is the number houses planning on Fenwick Drive. Bordered by the heritage area of Judy Woods - will impact on the natural environment and biodiversity of this area. Some of these fields are prone to flooding.
Concerned about the impact on traffic – already have many complaints/concerns from residents – critical due to location of the primary school. For the same reason, suggested developments off Abb Scott Lane also raise concerns.
Developing the Delf Hill site might not be so bad - is currently an eyesore/not looked after, but traffic impact on Abb Scott Lane and Common Road should not be underestimated - again there is a primary school on Common Road.
No particular concerns developing the sites highlighted in Buttershaw. Development welcomed at the Reevy Road West site.
