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

Representation ID: 4001

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Douglas Fraser

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 on the Scalebor estate I am entirely opposed to the development of greenbelt land when brownfield sites in the local vicinity are not being considered first. Access through Ron Lawton Crescent would be a disaster - as traffic is already excessive - particularly when there are sports fixtures at Scalebor at the weekends.
