The mix of housing in all new developments needs to be more firmly enforced. We see too many executive detached homes whereas we need a mix of genuinely affordable homes of all sizes, which are innovatively designed to provide good space density with high quality community living designed in, especially for children. Soundproofing between terraced houses and flats of a much higher quality must be demanded in smaller houses, with courtyard developments and eco-village designs. We need much more social housing, and so-called affordable housing must not look any different or be adjacent to the busiest roads. So-called affordable homes should not be able to be traded off between other developments. Bradford Council must take a stronger line on the look and design of housing developments such that developers are not enabled to build lots of detached houses all too close to each other and too big for their plots.
