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

Representation ID: 28405

Received: 13/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs SP Coote

Representation Summary:

I very strongly object to any further housing development on Heights lane, Eldwick.

The mini roundabout, where Heights Lane ends, sees daily chaos caused at this junction of five roads. The introduction of forty more houses and thus cars is a recipe for accidents and increased air pollution.

Eldwick Primary School is already at bursting point and will not be able to cope and local GP services would be further stretched.

The impact on the 150 year old Prince of Wales Park, which for many has been a life saver during this pandemic, would be irreversible.

Since the late 1960's Eldwick has been reduced from a pretty village with its own character and amenities to a virtual suburb of Bingley - housing estates have sprung up , eating away at much of the surrounding green fields and these new proposals would do further damage to the environment.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE GREEN BELT???
