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

Representation ID: 4459

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Simon Flather

Representation Summary:

This site is currently green belt and there is no reason for this to change. The site is over a mile from the centre of the village and is also uphill from there. This means that there will be a significant increase in traffic to service the site and the existing roads of Moor Lane and Moor Park Drive do not have the capacity to provide this. Building on this site will also increase the potential for flooding as the existing drains could not cope with extra capacity. Additional housing will put extra pressure on local schools which are already at capacity as well as the doctors. There are few job opportunities and leisure facilities are limited. The site is also over 400m from a bus top and public transport is limited. There are brownfield sites available closer to Bradford. Please stop this plan.
