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

Representation ID: 28556

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Baildon Town Council

Representation Summary:

1. The road infrastructure serving Baildon is totally inadequate for existing houses, let alone more. More details are provided in our submission document.

2. Baildon needs small business units to support its thriving small business sector, allowing local workplaces, and replacing large numbers of such units lost with the Baildon Mills Development.

3. Regarding sites - see site specific representations ..

4. Homes should be in keeping with the semi-rural location, meeting high environmental standards and with a good housing mix. Community infrastructure is vital and needs investment.

5. Infrequent bus and rail services plus topography drive residents to commuting by car, despite congestion. There is massive suppressed demand for rail travel and huge potential to shift travel onto trains and buses if the services were improved.
