Respondent: Mr Philip Galtry

Representation Summary:

I object to the plan covered in Consultation Question 116/117 as outlined in Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021, specifically site refs. AD1, AD2, AD6 and AD7 to the southwest of the Moor Park Estate in Addingham. Together these 4 site allocations represent 81 additional dwellings. The plan itself states that access from the main A65 will not be possible, thus these additional dwellings will all need to be accessed via Moor Lane or Moor Park Drive. The addition of so many dwellings will negatively impact the residents of this estate; 81 dwellings in an increase of over 50% on the number of houses currently in the estate. These are narrow residential roads servicing a community with a bias towards young families and more elderly residents. Although there is a 20 mph limit, few drivers abide by this and there is no enforcement.
