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

Representation ID: 21022

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Julia Balderstone

Representation Summary:

-Concerned about flood risk - the proposed developments are all on higher ground farmland which currently provides drainage in wet weather. The play field at the top of the village is already noticeably more boggy since the small development at the top of moor lane. With the further proposed developments this field will be unusable.
- Impact on primary schools which is already over subscribed in 2 of the school years currently attending.
- Impact on GP practice.
-Transport - small main street with too many parked cars already, too much congestion already and no train links.
-Impact on infrastructure - There are far too many new houses planned for such a small village.
-A smaller number would be more acceptable. It is understood that new houses are needed however such a percentage that is in proportion with the current size of the village
