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

Representation ID: 28557

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Baildon Town Council

Representation Summary:

BA5 Meadowside: Total and very strong opposition

Objects concern:

Green belt - One of the key purposes of the Green Belt is to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment and this proposal drives a coach and horses through this purpose as it actually drives a new wedge into the greenbelt taking the town boundary too far into it.

Site access - limited means, going down a small cul-de-sac completely unsuitable for heavy traffic.

Infrastructure - Single Road access and exit - Langley Lane is a massively used road currently particularly at school times

Proximity to Tong Park SEGI and Spring Woods SSSI

Impact on wildlife - barn owls, foxes, habitats for a wealth of smaller birds, pheasants.
