The plan does not make any proposals for additional employment opportunities in the town and therefore an expansion of the population will mean that a greater number of its residents will be forced to commute further afield for work. This is not a sustainable development plan as it is encouraging more car use because of the limitations (in 5.13.11 below) and is therefore in conflict with Bradford’s transport policy, which aims to reduce journeys and is contradictory to its target to be net zero carbon by 2038. To be a vibrant self-contained ‘all day’ community then Silsden needs to avoid becoming a dormitory town
