Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 3124

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Carl McKeating

Representation Summary:

I object to essential beautiful green belt pasture land for housing. If these two sites Ad3/4 get the go ahead, sprawl will spread further west of Southfield Farm until it fills all of this precious chunk of greenbelt land north of the bypass (A65). This would set a worrying precedent and impact views/village chacater from particularly the Yorkshire Dales National Park at Beamsley Beacon to the north and the moors west. This ancient pasture land, is bisected by two main walking routes out of the village . Increased traffic in the village centre on the narrow streets and pressure on the drainage, schools and road network are all massive onjections to this huge development going ahead.
These fields are a wildlife haven with 'Mature trees and hedgerows along boundaries.- ecologically diverse site that you are potentially destroying. Barn owls which can be seen here on a daily basis at dusk.
