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

Representation ID: 26655

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Brian McNaught

Representation Summary:

Proposal shows lack of knowledge and concern for those living, working and schooling in the area.

Will impact on existing nature of the valley, an area used by many for recreation, leisure and sport as well as mental health benefits associated with green spaces.

Increase in traffic would have a huge impact on the area. School borders the site that causes issues relating to parking, access and safety. One shop serves the area, whilst bus service is poor.

Area is biodiverse including wildlife, plants and trees and is a natural corridor. It is a buffer to areas designated for wildlife/geological interest.

Would have major impact on Green Belt and profoundly negatively impact on the adjoining nature of the area. Also within SPA/SAC Zone B.

Request that site is removed. Housing could be obtained via higher density building elsewhere and reconsidering rejected sites with less impact.

Consider the wider environment and its impact on welfare of residents/users as well as inadequate infrastructure.
