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

Representation ID: 27956

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Bellway Homes Limited

Agent: Barton Wilmore

Representation Summary:

Fully support the allocation of site NW10/H for residential purposes. The site is available, achievable and suitable and represents a developable and eliverable site, which would round-off the settlement of Allerton, with minimal impact on the Green Belt.

Should the site be allocated, it is envisaged that a planning application for 75-80 new homes will be submitted following the adoption of the Local Plan. Other than the delivery of the initial site infrastructure we are confident that there are no other major infrastructure works that need to take place prior to the commencement of delivery of new homes on the site. Accordingly, the development will commence within a year of the submission of the planning application. Due to the site’s size, there would be one development/selling outlet delivering new homes at the site. It is therefore anticipated that the development will deliver a yield of at least 40 homes per annum. The development proposals can therefore deliver significant benefits to Allerton and the wider District within the first five-year period of the Local Plan, alongside making a significant contribution to the Council’s ongoing 5-year housing land supply requirements.
The anticipated submission of a pre-application enquiry prior to the examination of the Local Plan will help to
ensure that the deliverability timescales outlined above are met.
