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

Representation ID: 5035

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Simon Flather

Representation Summary:

I object to the plan because:
Significant extra traffic through the village and up Moor Lane - the roads struggle to cope with existing traffic.
The site is a mile from the village centre and uphill. - therefore journeys will be made by car. An extra 24 houses could mean at least 48 cars and more if adult children are still at home.
The site is green belt and there are better areas to develop in the village closer to the centre
Allocation to Addingham too large - the figure is much higher than previous plans - how was it determined?
Local schools at capacity as well as doctors
Flooding risk as drainage inadequate
Lack of public transport and over 400m from bus stop - not sustainable development
Lack of employment opportunities and leisure facilities
Other unused brownfield sites nearer Bradford city centre near employment transport links etc
