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

Representation ID: 19534

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Dr Donna Leusen

Representation Summary:

Disappointed to read these proposals, particularly in relation to the lack of protection to the green belt, ancient woodland (protected by TPO) and also the use of land which has a history of flooding.

Our green spaces ought to be protected without exception.

Regarding section 5.8.33. Here it is mentioned that the four Baildon primary schools are under capacity. By what extent? Detail is not provided. I would regard this as both an oversight and essential information considering the claimed major positive effect on the education SA objective for these proposed development areas.

BA1/H Stubbings Road
Whilst this site is in close proximity to local primary school provision, since there is a proposal to build five dwellings, I believe this "major positive effect" is insignificant in comparison to the destruction of 100% greenfield site, with its proximity to a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) which is also an area of Ancient Woodland (protected by TPO) and Priority Habitat.
