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

Representation ID: 443

Received: 24/02/2021

Respondent: Mrs Dorcas Alterskye

Representation Summary:

Area has a spinney including preservation order trees, creating a habitat for protected species of bats and newts, supports owls, woodpeckers, nuthatch, deer among others. Provides a green 'lung' between the busy, polluting Oakworth Road and an increasingly dangerous Exley Road. 125 homes equals at least 250 more cars, 500 daily journeys using already busy roads which do not safely handle current demands. Example: Broomhill Avenue/Oakworth Rd intersection. Already poor water pressure and drainage system would not support further development sufficiently with detrimental, negative impact on quality of life for both new and existing homes.
