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

Representation ID: 3458

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Chris Yoxall

Representation Summary:

I hereby object to the proposed housing developments on Crossfield Rd. There is wildlife in the form of deer, rabbits and birds that appear to reside in the planned field. The village school is oversubscribed in some classes and bringing more people to the village would only make this situation worse. The village doesn't have sufficient infrastructure to cope with more people to reside here. For instance, Oxenhope does not have a Doctors Surgery, the transport system could not cope with more people. Oxenhope is home to small roadways which would struggle with additional traffic. As more households have a second car, there would be problems with parking within the village. This would be particular noticeable during rush hour periods such as school pick up and drop off times. Especially seeing as though the other proposed housing development is on Cross Lane (which leads up to the school).
