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

My principle concern looking at the Strategic Transport Delivery is the disproportionate allocation of public transport and active travel proposals across the city – particularly North VS South and how there is little evidence being provided to justify the current proposals.
In South Bradford, 39% of households have no car (higher than regional average) but all public or active transport proposals - with the exception of the park and ride - are north of the city centre.
This is especially difficult to reconcile, given the higher number of houses being proposed for BD4 (Holmewood extension).
One positive is the reference to the mass transit network for WY but at this stage this should be included as an addition rather than an integral part of the local plan.
