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

Representation ID: 2167

Received: 18/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Rosalind Dawson

Representation Summary:

I object to the development of the Sty Lane green fields. Access is difficult, over a swing canal bridge, and the local roads are very narrow. Also, concerned about Whitley St and loss of employment space. Ensuring the Crosley Wood site is affordable housing is essential. I really don't understand though why all this development and building on fields is needed when there is so much undeveloped land in Bradford city centre and derelict mills. They should be turned into housing first, then dig up green fields. Also, the plan says Bingley is a principal town yet Bradford Council spends no money on it. The pool is mentioned as an amenity, but it's going to shut. Myrtle Park is desperate for a make-over, yet is getting none of the £6.2 million being spent on playgrounds. Any progress in Bingley is thanks to Bingley Town Council.
