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

Representation ID: 2882

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: Richard Duff

Representation Summary:

Access via Wheatley Grove is not suitable for a major development of this size, not least for the construction equipment needed on site.

Run off from the moors after heavy rain could lead to flooding resulting in serious and perhaps frequent damage to property.

Significant additional traffic and congestion (plus an increase from 155 houses in the nearby IL3/H proposal) on a narrow and dangerous section of Wheatley Lane under the railway bridge, and that is before taking into account extra traffic from the planned park and ride scheme.

Impact on local infrastructure...IGS and other schools are already full and the water treatment works are operating above capacity with frequent sewage discharges into the River Wharfe.
