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

Representation ID: 3593

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Ms Janet Hebbert

Representation Summary:

Access in and out of this proposed area would be a significant problem. The surrounding lanes are very narrow, only just allowing one car width. These are also lanes used regularly by pedestrians walking themselves or with dogs. Parents also walk their children to the primary school along these lanes, and any increase in volume of cars would discourage parents from doing this, further increasing car use in the area, and thereby increasing the risk of accidents around the school involving children. We also cannot see how this development is feasible without widening of the lanes/roads to accommodate access, which would profoundly impact on the nature of the area, losing an area of natural beauty with much wildlife, as well, as I said, taking away an area that is much used and loved by walkers of all ages.
