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

Representation ID: 20016

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Stewart Bannister

Representation Summary:

•Concerned that the consultation process has not been correctly followed. Significant information unavailable, extreme time pressure to comment and no way for elderly to object as they have no access/understanding of the internet.
•The number of houses proposed for Addingham seems excessive compared to other villages across Bradford. The village has limited services and is designated as a lower tier settlement. The local primary school is full and Ilkley Grammar is oversubscribed.
•There are a significant number of Brownfield sites across Bradford with many closer to key transport links and general services. These are more sustainable and would not impact on finite green spaces.
•Addingham is a very special and unique village and should be kept that way for the community, tourism and future generations.
