I am writing to submit feedback regarding the land allocations identified within Keighley West Ward.

My first observation is that Keighley West Ward has no parks and limited green space amenity; this ought to be addressed through the Local Plan to address this imbalance to ensure that residents “buy in” to the Plan and feel that this is a document that is owned by the whole District.

In addition to green space and parkland, the other issue that needs ought to be taken into consideration is the drainage. There has been significant development over the last few years in the Oakworth Road area, namely the former Bronte School site and the Occupation Lane site. Both these sites have contributed to significant drainage issues in the area. The area is not equipped to deal with these developments.
