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

Representation ID: 5120

Received: 25/02/2021

Respondent: Bob Watson

Representation Summary:

It has been greatly disappointing to see the Council allow infill developments which have removed the only green space in an area, and allowed building sprawl in its place.

It is hugely concerning that the same mistake could be enacted in Baildon. I would implore you to remove the undermentioned two sites for that very reason.

If these are allowed to be developed they would remove the only green lung between Baildon Village and the Shipley Glen end of Lucy Hall Drive. It would then be effectively one great urban sprawl along the whole length of West Lane / Lucy Hall Drive - a significant distance.
This current green lung is a much welcomed space which helps the well-being of everyone in the area, and is a vital barrier between otherwise continuous housing.

I have little problem with what else is proposed.
