Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 28081
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Emma Williams
The allocation of green belt sites when other brown field sites are available is in contravention of national planning policy.
Furthermore, if the Council has undertaken sequential testing correctly, it is wholly inconceivable that the above sites would have been prioritised or even deemed appropriate for residential development on this scale.
Of particular concern, the drainage infrastructure (flooding), impact on green belt environment, highway network (including safety) and schooling provision within Ben Rhydding and Ilkley undermine the allocations.
I request that the Council promote alternative sites that are more sustainable and accord with national planning policy.
