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

Representation ID: 4252

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr John Fox

Representation Summary:

Unsustainable due to the potential impacts of flood risk and pollution to adjacent land cannot which cannot be mitigated. Also, given the surrounding topography makes surface water disposal in a controlled manner to local water courses an extreme challenge.
Add to this the impact of additional loading placed on the existing public sewer system already under stress demonstrated by the need for additional attenuation facilities having to be put in place to accommodate recent developments.
Add into the mix: increased traffic congestion, access and highway safety issues (access on to a busy main road); Additional pressure on schools, health centres and other key infrastructure & the further loss of an important social amenity & further damage to the area’s character, wildlife, and environment.
