I am concerned about my safety and the safety of my family, should the development go ahead.

I am registered blind as are two other members of my family and therefore have to access my home via Ben Rhydding Drive. Being blind, I have to always walk to my home, along Ben Rhydding Drive, which is narrow and virtually all without a footpath (a small section near the bottom has footpaths). Even with the current traffic along this road, there are risks.

There would be a huge increase in the number of vehicles and just the construction phase would cause dangerous conditions on the road for the pedestrians.

Already the speed limit is ignored by some road users.

The local infrastructure e.g. schools is not sufficient to accommodate so many new properties.

Why are these green belt sites being developed when were are plenty of brown fill sites and derelict buildings in the Bradford area?
