UNEVEN DISTRIBUTIONAL AND EQUALITIES IMPACTS OF THE BLP.

Bradford South East is more deprived than other areas, and also resident to more people sharing protected characteristics. Do not believe that Council has had regard to the distributional impacts that concentrating so much development in Bradford South East will entail. There is a moral and legal duty to consider this.

Residents do not feel development will have beneficial impacts. No consideration given whether the scale or form of development will serve existing resident’s needs. Will have no impact on the sub-standard existing housing in which residents live.

Equalities Impact Assessment is inadequate. Construction impacts are likely to have significant detrimental impacts on residents and, including those with protected characteristics. Same arguments can be made in respect of the loss of open space, loss of access to the countryside, air quality, severance etc.
