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

Representation ID: 4113

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Nick Oldham

Representation Summary:

* Yet more of a limited and precious area of greenbelt land will be lost in the village
* Loss of natural habitat, which will have an adverse impact on local wildlife, especially next to woodland and a park
*There has already been too much new development in Eldwick and there are plenty of brownfield sites available within the Bingley area
*There will be additional pressure on the roads in the village, particularly Otley Road which is already a rat run, especially in the morning and evening, as well as at the mini-roundabout and on roads leading to and from the village
*Heights Lane is narrow and completely unsuitable for the increased volume of traffic the two developments (B14/H and B18/H) will generate along the road
* Heights Lane is a favourite spot for walkers and increased traffic will cause increased danger
