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

Representation ID: 29335

Received: 13/03/2021

Respondent: Helen Robertson

Representation Summary:

Firstly, the field is very often waterlogged. After relatively little rainfall today it is like a mud slide and very unsteady under foot. It seems unsafe to comprehend houses being built on such sloping sodden land.

Secondly I have concerns as to the local schools accommodating that number of additional children. The Grammar school is bursting at the seams with no room to expand.

Thirdly, I worry about the small roads in the surrounding area. The railway bridge inBen Rhydding very easily gets backed up. Several accidents have happened as people try to pull out at the corner junction and with a heavier flow of traffic I think it could mean more serious incidents waiting to happen.

Finally, I fear that the affect on the wildlife that inhabit the field will be catastrophic. We regularly see owls particularly in the evening and deer.
