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

Representation ID: 4524

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Darren O'Meara

Representation Summary:

Better Brownfield development opportunities locally should be preferred which would protect this Green Belt.
Land is already susceptible to flooding and would only add pressure to an incapable drainage system.
Access roads Shay Lane and Crack Lane are exceptionally narrow and unable to cope with current local traffic flows and would need extensive improvements.
The map fails to account for existing 80+ new housing already developed off crack lane. Highways remain unadopted some years after completion due to persistent issues with drainage on that developed site. It would be a glaring planning oversight to allow for more development on Crack Lane while that development continues to be unadopted due to previous planning oversight.
