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

Representation ID: 24425

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Luke Lynam

Representation Summary:

•Absolutely supportive of increased affordable housing, but it is quite obvious that this isn't going to be the case.
•There is so much Brownfield space across the district that could be developed to help the affordable housing crisis, however these plans to instead build on precious Greenbelt highlight Bradford Council's priority to profit from land that can be sold to developers for top council tax property.
•To show complete disregard for the amazing wildlife which inhabits these areas is extremely disappointing to see.
•Has anyone at the council considered the local infrastructure before submitting these plans for development? Particularly in my village of Addingham which has seen its allocation of houses increase from 75 to 175. This seems excessive given that no additional infrastructure has been proposed for the village. Also particularly surprising given that no increase in allocated houses has been proposed for a major town like Ilkley.
