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

Representation ID: 1908

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Burley Parish Council

Representation Summary:

3.6.1 Statistics in SNPP clearly shows that across the plan period, the number of people in lower age groups is a shrinking not a growing proportion of the population.

3.6.4; 3.6.8: there is a need to ensure that through a strategy for inward investment, employment needs align with the District’s strengths by re-deploying and retraining workers so the they can contribute to the demands of the green economy.

3.6.9 The release of green belt for housing away from these areas is contrary to the need for homes to be localised close to centre of employment to reduce the reliance on the car.

3.6.12; 3.6.13: Future employment growth should be calculated using outcomes supported by data rather than to simply adopt an approach that factors none of these issues into account.
