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

Representation ID: 4344

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Brian Berkovits

Representation Summary:

I object to this proposal as follows:
- The proposal underestimates the level of surface water flooding that occurs regularly on the site and at the north east boundary junction of Crack Lane/Shay Lane that will affect adjacent developments/roads
- Access/exit to the developed site would increase risks of traffic accidents/congestion at an already high risk junction of three narrow roads (Crack Lane, Shay Lane, Coplowe Lane)
- Access to main road routes by vehicles fro the developed site would greatly increase congestion onto Main Street/ Haworth Road during morning and evening rush periods
- The development would add unmet pressures on existing health, educational and retail services within the settlement already under pressure from recent developments without possible options for expansion
- It would damage the ecological fabric of the area in terms of wild plants, nesting areas and materials for birds, hedgehogs and other animals
