Site BI3/H (SLA ref - BI/011)

Objections are made to the following assessments:

Objective 12 - Accessible Services
The site is assessed as (minor negative) against this sustainability objective.

However, within the SA I have been unable to find the definition of “accessible services” or “key services,
amenities and or facilities”, which must be within 600m of the site to achieve a positive assessment. Nearby facilities include Lady Lane Park School that is within 300m of the site, and Oakwood Hall Hotel, which includes a publicly accessible bar and restaurant, is just over 300m from the site. It is suggested that these are key services, amenities and facilities that justify a – (minor positive) assessment.

Objection 17 - Education
The site is erroneously assessed as - (minor negative) against this sustainability objective. It is located within 300m of Lady Lane Park School, which provides infant and junior education, and just over 1km from Bingley Grammar School, which provides secondary education (Beckfoot School is not the nearest secondary school). It is believed that both schools have some capacity for new students and the site should therefore be assessed as ++ (major positive).
