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

Representation ID: 4478

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Jonathan Lury

Representation Summary:

Object for the following reasons:
1) these new homes will be mostly for rich people. They will not be affordable or increase diversity or opportunity.
2) this is greenbelt land. The UK is a small country with a dwindling amount of greenbelt. New housing should be done on brown field sites and be facilitated by central government investment. Bradford area has a large amount of urban brownfield sites which are ripe for regeneration.
3) there is not enough infrastructure for this development (water/sewage, schools, public transport, existing road system is inadequate). In other recent building developments in this area the developers have not delivered the promised solutions to improve infrastructure and have not been held to account. Therefore this development will simply create more problems.
