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

Representation ID: 2675

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Kevin Nabb

Representation Summary:

We are against any location that brings traffic into the village, in particular the Old School site which has over the years turned back into a great habitat for wildlife. Over the years we have seen deer, bats, owls, foxes, rabbits, and an amazing array of birds just to name a few. Access to and from this site is very tight. Chapel Street is already down to a single lane along with Back Beck Lane. We estimate that 60 % of children (150 children, plus parents) walk to school along these roads every day. It's also well used by dog walkers, ramblers and cyclists. Therefore there are health and safety issues related to increased traffic. Environmentally it would be a disaster to develop this land.
