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

Representation ID: 2199

Respondent: Mr James Sorsby

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the proposed 164 houses on glenview rd site. This small piece of greenbelt meadow is a haven for local wildlife deer foxes rabbits voles bats badgers and a plethora of birdlife and fauna thrive in this small haven between busy over trafficked roads. These small green spaces between housing are beneficial to both humans and wildlife providing a tranquil
visually pleasing and mentally stimulating sensation that we humans need to thrive not to mention the benefits that the greenery provide in keeping down the extremely high pollution levels in the Bradford district.
The surrounding roads particularly the A650 has slow moving high polluting traffic for most of the day 7 days a week also the traffic around cottingley is absolutely chaotic at times (school pick ups/ drop offs). therefore it is vitally important for physical and mental health to preserve our valuable green urban spaces.
