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

Representation ID: 4534

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: Patrick Gurney

Representation Summary:

I am very concerned that an area already often brought to a halt at busy times be subjected to the traffic of well over 300 further dwellings. Where are the extra School places locally? There are two large Secondary Academies in the area, but only one Primary School. In your disposition you state that transport links are good. They cannot be so with the existing road structure! At school arrival and departure times the local roads are unsafe. There is totally inadequate provision for parked cars. There has already been one fatality on Bradford Road, a serious accident on Cottingley Moor Road above Cottingley Village Primary School. At times large vehicles, such as buses, struggle to pass that area and, at times, are forced to the wrong side of the road. Plans to build more homes in the area without a massive re-vamp of Infrastructure will be dangerous.
