Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 1922
Received: 17/03/2021
Respondent: Burley Parish Council
Representation Summary:
We support the enhancement, protection and expansion of trees and woodland. We agree that development proposals which result in loss or deterioration of irreplaceable habitats should be refused. We would like to see more clarity on what constitutes “wholly exceptional reasons” (B). How can we realistically compensate for something which has been deemed “irreplaceable”? Preemptive felling can create a fait-accompli scenario and we would like to see more enforcement and deterrence against such actions. As such, we broadly support EN3 but would like more clarity on some items.
