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

Representation ID: 3824

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Neil Benstead

Representation Summary:

In summary therefore the development of this site for residential purposes is not considered to be a suitable, available or deliverable option on the grounds of land ownership, access, housing need and Green Belt considerations and I strongly object to the proposals for any residential development on the site. There is a restriction on title constraining the subject site to use as grazing land, there is no viable access solution and the site meets 3 of the 5 Green Belt criteria with no exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release.
As a local resident for over 5 years and my wife for over 10 years on the Scalebor Park estate I fully understand the need for new housing however the pressures already on the estate are apparent. The development of Scalebor Gardens several years ago increased these pressures, further development on what is green belt land will significantly add to these.
