I must object to the proposed Policy SP5. Green Belt areas keep separation between individual areas of development and provide environmental and social benefits. 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. The proposed policy appears to emphasise the current Green Belt areas that could be developed without providing enough strength to the initial aim to redevelop brownfield sites as the first course of action.
