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

Representation ID: 23675

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: John Wilson

Representation Summary:

-Inadequate Primary School Provision - Sandal School and other local schools are over-subscribed.
-Local Road Infrastructure- no scope for additional capacity to the local road network. Traffic levels along West Lane to the centre of Baildon, and on the B6151 to the main arterial road A6038 Otley Road, are extremely congested and frequently at a standstill during peak times. This will be made worse by additional housing development.
-Impact on traffic levels arising from development within Wharfedale.
-Impact on Saltaire Heritage Buffer Zone.
-Development will contribute towards continued flooding of the Aire valley.
-Localised flooding in roads surrounding the Sites.
- Concerns regarding type of house and lack of affordable housing to or serve local needs.
-Failure to take into account significant parcels of brownfield land in Baildon that are known will become available for development (Ian Clough site)
-There is simply no requirement or justification to open up the greenbelt land on BA2/H and BA6/H
