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

Representation ID: 3628

Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Anna Robinson

Representation Summary:

This housing estate is big enough. It already looks like urban sprawl with the architecture of the properties. Further development will add to this. The village will expand too much and developing the site to this extent is not sustainable in terms of resources such as places in the primary school, community aspects etc. The village has been working towards being sustainable and more environmentally focused. This development is huge and goes against the ethos of what the aims are of most of the community. Developments need to be considerate to the environment, be sustainable and minimise impact on the local environment. The barn owls live in the field close to this development and this field is a key aspect to their hunting ground. The more housing that is built, the more we are going to lose this varied habitat and the ability to sustain an ecosystem for the wildlife.
