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

Representation ID: 19733

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Conservative)

Representation Summary:

Wilsden actually needs construction. Not more houses but employment opportunities.
The 130 more homes envisaged in the plan include WI1/H & WI3/H.

Existing sites have been approved for housing, so this refutes the excuse to build on greenbelt at WI2/H. Brownfield sites at Haven Farm, Station Road, Harecroft and Prosepct Mill, Main Street are ideal. This will all inevitably bring 260+ more cars into the equation.

Residents already feel the B6144 from Cullingworth and Main Street/Harden Road are similar to race tracks with scarce police resources (not already deployed to Bradford) unable to impact the dangerous situation.
