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

Representation ID: 1907

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Burley Parish Council

Representation Summary:

3.5.3 BPC would like to understand BDMC’s definition of “exceptional circumstances” in the context of the NPPF. Whilst we accept that some elements of brownfield may be unviable, we find it hard to understand why land that would support the delivery of a significant number of homes still remains unviable 16 years after identification.

3.5.4 We would like to alert BDMC to the unoccupied housing which could contribute to the housing allocation figures and which throw a completely different perspective on where housing and regeneration efforts should be directed.

3.5.13 would not contribute to the District’s employment needs given 3.31
