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

Representation ID: 28558

Respondent: Baildon Town Council

Representation Summary:

Conditional support

This is a largely overgrown area leading to an area of ancient woodland off Walker Wood, at the end of an unadopted road so access may be problematic.

The above gives rise to considerable misgivings about the proposal for Stubbings Lane as it would still mean access via Walker Wood possibly damaging the ancient woodland and trampling across an area that Baildon Council has already objected to twice. It is also feared that this proposal is a ‘trojan horse’ to enable the developer to come back with proposals for additional houses. This must be prevented as the woodland must be protected.
