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

Representation ID: 2465

Received: 20/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Down

Representation Summary:

Whilst I generally support the proposed policy SP4 in principle, I have to object on the basis of the potential impact to the current Green Belt (as also objected to for Policy SP5). Whilst the hierarchy of proposed development, with greater emphasis on brownfield development, is accepted, the potential to impact on Green Belt areas is opposed. The proposed adjustment of Green Belt areas appears to be a cynical attempt by City of Bradford MDC to permit development of numerous sites and increase urban sprawl whilst claiming there is no impact to Green Belt. This is not acceptable and appears to contravene the aim to respect and maintain Green Belt areas as indicated elsewhere in the Local Plan.
