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

Representation ID: 4341

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Philippa Crane

Representation Summary:

I strongly object and think it appalling that Bradford Council is prepared to allocate a site in Steeton which is in a major GREEN BELT parcel on the edge of the village for 120 dwellings. There will be potential landscape and visual impacts due to its location and impact on the setting of the Conversation Area which is 30m away, not to mention flood risk and drainage is also a potential issue. Well done Bradford! Build on the numerous brownfield sites available and sell the many hundreds of empty properties in the Bradford area. We need to save our precious green belt and greenfield sites (not destroy them) look after the trees and hedgerows and enjoy the wildlife and beautiful countryside.
Poor Infrastructure:
GP Surgeries struggling to cope
Hospital under pressure
Traffic Congestion / air pollution
Flooding /sewerage/drainage concerns
Senior school over subcribed
Loss of wildlife habitat
Mental health concerns
