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

Representation ID: 4024

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Ms Sara-Linda Mitchell

Representation Summary:

The proposed development is on Green Belt land and The National Planning Framework emphasises the protection of such land.

This development would have an adverse effect on the residential amenity of neighbours, by reasons including overlooking, the loss of privacy and overshadowing of new properties.

The plans proposed consist of unacceptable over development of the site, removal of mature woodland, the very heart of Nab Wood. This woodland is essential to the wildlife that currently thrives here, including Badgers, which are protected.

The visual impact of the development would be devastating for the residents.

This development would have a significant impact on the character of properties and farms that have stood for hundreds of years.

The proposed development is over-bearing and the number of houses proposed is extreme.

The development would lead to a loss of habitat.

The need for new houses and to protect wildlife should be balanced fairly.
