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

Representation ID: 18244

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Gayle Cardwell

Representation Summary:

The proposed site would take housing delivery in Burley in Wharfedale over and above identified need.

The NLP report in the the Statement of Common Ground for the CEG/Sun Lane planning inquiry (agreed and signed by Bradford Council) - concludes that the site prevent unrestricted sprawl, prevents neighbouring villages from merging and assists in safeguarding the countryside.

Access concerns

Restrictive covenant

In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or deliverable option on the grounds of land ownership, access, housing need and Green Belt considerations and I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site. There is a restriction on title constraining the subject site to use as grazing land, there is no viable access solution and the site meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria with no exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release.
