Representation ID: 2943

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Geoffrey Thompson

Representation Summary:

1. This is a site on the green belt and does not meet the criteria in policy SP3
2. This site helps separate the village from the bypassed helps preserve the historic farming setting.
3. Any properties built here would necessitate the use of a car for access to local amenities, health centre and schools - we should be trying to cut down the use of vehicles and hence pollution.
4. Turner Lane is an important part of the Dales Highway and is used by large numbers of walkers and hikers every year. It is a country lane and should remain so.
5. The infrastructure of the village cannot cope with a projected 10.3% net increase of housing stock. This number is totally disproportionate to other areas in the Bradford conurbation.
6. The owner of this site will not release it for building purposes.
