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

Representation ID: 26557

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Rebecca Jebb

Representation Summary:

Main objections to the proposed plans to build on Green Belt plots on Heights Lane, Eldwick are:

1. Green Belt should be protected at all costs after every other avenue has been exhausted. Should be there for residents and children to enjoy

2. Heights Lane is situated off a small mini-roundabout that is very busy. It is a narrow road with no footpaths and used by villagers to access other local footpaths. Increased traffic would cause pollution and be a danger to pedestrians

3. There isn’t the infrastructure to support any more people. Local school is at maximum capacity. More houses mean a need for more school places, doctor surgeries, nurseries and dentists all of which are over-subscribed.

4. The detrimental effect the proposed build would have on the environment for wildlife and would increase flooding and pressure on drainage.
