Respondent: Cullingworth Parish Council

Summary the key points of our response:
•Largest increase of housing stock over the last eight years within the local service centres
•Infrastucture should be aligned with current and future developments
•Validation of total population – historical data used from 1991 census suggesting no growth
•Validation of dwellings – December 2020 precept payments from 1581 homes, not 1371 as quoted
•Preferred allocations;
CU1/H Former Station Yard, (subject of a reserved matters application)
CH2/H Cullingworth Mill. Agree in principle but have concerns.
CU3/H Cullingworth Road/Doll Lane. This is green belt and would damage the unique character of the village and would form the beginnings of an urban sprawl, consequently we could not support this. Brownfield sites exist as an alternative as per application 19/03606/MAO (outline approval granted), together with Old village Hall site.
•Housing density for rural locations quoted as 35 homes per hectare. Rural locations should be allowed to incorporate smaller developments to protect the heritage and rural authenticity of the village.
