A good % of the people living in the Aire Valley drive to work to either Bradford or Leeds. Pre covid you just needed to drive into Saltaire and be held up in one massive bottleneck to see what the issues are. The current infrastructure is ill equipped and by building more houses away from peoples workplaces you will just generate even more traffic and add to the existing problems. I see nothing in the current plan that adequately tackles this infrastructure issue. The plan for sustainable transportation is admirable however the geography of the region is a major barrier. Plus the pandemic has pushed more people back into their cars and less likely to use public transportation. The council needs to think a little more and not just go with the easy option of building on greenbelt. Make the city a more attractive place to live and work.
