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

Representation ID: 28554

Received: 09/04/2021

Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Labour)

Representation Summary:

Constraint of bridges on Coney Lane/Park Lane, present in previous UDPs was removed for unknown/illogical reason.

Was subject of a committee discussion in 2019 - decided that further development should be put on hold until constraints are addressed.

Constraint remains and has not been improved. 1/3 of Keighley East housing sites would need to use Coney Lane for access into Keighley town centre. A new Aldi is being built off this route.

Urge removal of all development/sites in Long Lee and surrounding villages (Parkwood, Woodhouse, Hainworth Wood and Harden) until issue is addressed.

Statements regarding Long Lee's facilities/services are incorrect - no frequent bus service, no fish & chip shop, GP surgery struggling to accommodate existing residents.

Concerned about lack of green space provision and finances to support it as CIL is not easily obtained.

No mention of additional business opportunities on housing sites e.g. shops, parks, pubs, community centres.
