Respondent: Kirklees Metropolitan Council

Transport / air quality / walking and cycling

o Kirklees Council is keen to understand any air quality implications of the proposals on the Kirklees road network. An Air Quality Management Area in the southern area of Birkenshaw (Whitehall Road East/Bradford Road) should be considered when assessing air quality implications.
o The council is keen for walking and cycling links to be improved in this area especially where this links to Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans and where proposals could facilitate links to the existing/indicative Core Walking and Cycling networks set out in the Kirklees Local Plan.
