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

Representation ID: 3956

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Roger Seddon

Representation Summary:

I object VERY STRONGLY to this proposal. It can easily be seen from the map that if this site and/or site AD4/H are developed, there will inevitably be future proposals and pressure for the development of the four fields in between them and also the five fields lying to the north. It would transform the area from a rural village into a big suburban housing estate.
The removal of AD3/H and AD4/H from agricultural use would threaten the agricultural viability of the remaining fields.
The rural aspect of the southern side of the village would be lost.
There would no doubt be adverse effects on local wildlife, as the width of the village, both north-south and east-west, would be greatly increased, interrupting wildlife corridors through the area.
The traffic density through the adjoining housing estate and the village would be excessive, along with its adverse environmental effects.
