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

Representation ID: 2704

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Matthew Buckley

Representation Summary:

In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or deliverable option on the grounds of land ownership, access, housing need and Green Belt considerations and I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site. There is a restriction on title constraining the subject site to use as grazing land, there is no viable access solution and the site meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria with no exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release.
As a resident in Burley-in-Wharfedale I believe it is important to maintain the greenbelt to preserve wildlife. The infrastructure of the village is not enough to support new housing development to this scale.
