Site is subject to a planning submission by Barratt Homes proposing 70 dwellings. This would take the total number of dwellings off the cul‐de‐sac to 144 dwellings without a secondary point of access or an emergency access.

Although acceptable for the proposed quantum, further residential development from this single point of access is not considered to be acceptable and contrary to the Leeds Street Design Guide and emerging Leeds Transportation SPD (assuming this is also to be retained as Bradford Highway’s guidance document in the future).

The proposed site layout meets its south western boundary in two locations - a private drive and secondly an adopted shared surface turning head.

Therefore, even if the issues above did not exist, there is no suitable connection to the boundary of this site that would facilitate access to any wider development sites bounding this site, as the internal roads would not meet the required standards of a larger development for either a Type 1 or 2 street, with any cul‐de‐sac also being significantly longer than that permitted.
