Appears contradictory to the desire to release non-Green belt first
There is sufficient housing land to build a significant number of homes that is classified as unviable for housing delivery. Whilst we accept that some elements of Brownfield may be unviable, why is it that land that would support the delivery of a significant number of homes still unviable 16 years after identification?
There are 5,000 unoccupied properties in 5 areas of Bradford, the City Centre, Bradford NE. NW, SE, SW. Unviable and unoccupied housing could accommodate a significant proportion of the housing need in the plan period.
Thee proposed Local Plan in Burley in Wharfedale does not meet the development needs of our area, because transport plans, goals or delivery timetables do not exist. The Local Plan with respect to Burley in Wharfedale is incapable of being sufficiently flexible to adapt to rapid change (such as increased demand for train services or significantly increased traffic flow).
Building green belt in Burley in Wharfedale will not bring economic benefit to bradford. Trains for commuter sto Leeds are overflowing and yet Bradford trains are almost empty (pre covid).
