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

Representation ID: 1830

Received: 16/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Curtin

Representation Summary:

This site would adversely impact the openness and entrance to the village. Drainage is already an issue in this area with the childrens' playing field often unusable due to it being sodden. Proximity to amenties is an issue as is the terrain with the hill leading to the village steep at the silsden road site. residents would most likely drive increasing traffic and failing to support bradford's climate emergency. This is greenbelt land that should not be released without special circumstance, what are they. Opportunities for employment, retail and recreation are limited and transport links are limited resulting in traffic seeking these by driving to to other neighbouring towns. Schools remain an issue with oversubscribing and children regularly appealing for a place at their local school. Many class sizes are already in excess of 30 which exceeds the government target.
