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

Representation ID: 2249

Received: 19/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Ian Hunt

Representation Summary:

Destruction of the local biodiversity, loss of meadow, hedgerow, trees and natural flora and the wildlife within.
Loss of agricultural land, actively used today for horses, cattle and sheep, as well as silage for livestock feeding.
Loss of natural views for adjacent residents and also for visiting walkers, both local and those visiting from afar.
Loss of an amenity which allows community engagement with countryside experiences and within easy reach.
Loss of engagement and experiences with real wildlife, rabbits, fox, deer, rare but present, bats and woodpeckers.

The demise of community identity as the elimination of green space can only bring endless urban sprawl.
There is no credible benefit to delivering only 150 sizeable homes on this generous and wonderful green space.

Before using greenfield, a review of potential new brownfield site availability ‘post pandemic’ must be done.
