Draft South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document
Representation ID: 27748
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Persimmon Homes (West Yorkshire)
Agent: Lichfields
Appendix 4: £510,000 is allocated to SANGs (Suitably Accessible Natural Greenspace) and included in the levy on households. While SANGs are widely used to divert walkers away from lowland heaths the authors have presented no evidence to show that SANGs would work to divert recreation pressure away from upland moors. The cost of SANG provision through the ‘roof tax’ is considerable however there is no evidence provided to demonstrate that it is necessary or that SANG will work.
These representations have been prepared by Lichfields on behalf of Persimmon Homes (West Yorkshire) (“Persimmon”) to the public consultation on the Draft Bradford District Local Plan – Preferred Options (regulation 18) consultation draft (February 2021).
The representation is made specifically in relation to land at Bolton Road, Silsden where Persimmon have an option agreement to purchase land for development, and where preapplication discussions are ongoing regarding the site’s development for housing.
