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

Representation ID: 28140

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Hallam Land Management

Agent: Johnson Mowat

Representation Summary:

HLM supports the inclusion of Sites SE19/H, SE46/H, SE47/H, SE48/H and SE37/E

The sites are deliverable, with a willing land promoter on board to ensure collectively the sites come forward as a comprehensive development.

Appendix 1 provides an Opportunities and Constraints Plan, which has informed the preparation of an illustrative Masterplan (Appendix 2). This together with the Transport and Access Appraisal at Appendix 4 illustrates how the sites can deliver a comprehensive urban extension, which has been designed to take account of the existing topography, incorporates appropriate access points, including a roundabout within the site to allow access to the proposed employment allocation to the east (SE37/E).

Whilst the Holme Wood South Urban Extension is not reliant on the delivery of the South East Bradford Access Road, the Urban Extension will contribute to the facilitation of the potential new strategic highway as a long-term aspiration.

HLM are confident that the development considerations contained in the individual Site Details in the Draft Local Plan are achievable. The initial Masterplan work provides confidence that Holme Wood South is capable of delivering a well-designed urban extension.
