Bradford Council, in setting out the Local Plan for IL1/H and IL3/H, fails to address many key issues like traffic, access, and infrastructure. However, and I know it will sound strange, but it does clearly state that in adopting the Plan, it would run rough-shod over it’s own policy on the GREEN BELT.

Ben Rhydding Sports Club - first general concern relates to the likelihood of increased flood risk from this side of the A65. We are already vulnerable from the river side, and after the November 2020 floods, we cannot now obtain insurance against future flooding.

Should IL3/H be adopted, the loss of openness will be dramatic, and damaged for ever. To emphasise this point, please take a look at the picture below which perfectly demonstrates the glorious view, as it is today.......now imagine that same view spoilt by 155 new houses on the Green Belt.
