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

Representation ID: 3826

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Christopher Acomb

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to building on green belt land when there are more suitable brown field sites within Bradford Council. It is an important habitat for wildlife with curlews being frequently seen in AD3/H and surrounding fields. The footpath (Hollow Lane) on the north boundary of AD3/H is important historically and important wildlife habitat (Gold Finches). The resulting housing will generate unacceptable increase commuter traffic. The proposed large number of houses will lead to destruction of hedging and the removal of trees that will have a negative impact on the visual amenity associated with the area. It will significantly change the character of the village. Concerns are raised because of previous sewage blockage and overflow particularly for St Pauls Rise and surrounding roads. Any new housing will also look over existing property and impact on their privacy - especially St Christophers, St Leonards and St Johns.
