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

Representation ID: 29134

Received: 26/08/2021

Respondent: Ms Georgia Young

Representation Summary:

- Proposals are at odds with the Council’s ambitions to improve health and wellbeing of Bradford people and tackle air pollution.
-Proximity of sites to SSSI / Moor / Baildon Bank
- Development will bring air, noise and light pollution which is likely to have an adverse impact on the flora and fauna in the adjacent areas.
-Green spaces are essential to maintaining good air quality and tackling climate change.
-There are many unused brownfield sites in Bradford and unoccupied.
-Housing numbers for Baildon is in excess of what is required and appears not to take into account the 81 units currently working their way through planning.
-Insist that developers work to the highest standards when it comes to building and infrastructure design and sustaining and encouraging natural habitats for wildlife and access by the public to these.
-If the proposal is implemented I would want it to include a stipulation that any housing development on the site is carbon neutral both during construction and once completed and occupied.
