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

Representation ID: 3371

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Richard Tovey

Representation Summary:

I am a resident of Scalebor Gardens close to the proposed allocation of 110 dwellings.
1. With 500 dwellings consented on Sun Lane another 110 at Scalebor exceeds the identified housing need with no more justification.
2. The site only meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria as defined in the NPPF and a development of this scale would be inappropriate development in the GB and encroachment into open countryside.
3. Highways experts,, Bryan G Hall, concludes that it would require an alternative access into Scalebor and no options are possible. Ron Lawton Crescent has not been designed with this in mind and Scalebor Park Close is not suitable. The roads are already congested and families park cars on the roads overnight because the garages are too small.
4. There is a restrictive covenant on the site that it has to be used for grazing only.
Enough said!
