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

Representation ID: 5122

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Jenkins

Representation Summary:

BU1/H - Sun Lane. If this proceeds it will cast doubt on many of the more critical conditions aspired to in this document – green belt last choice for development, required infrastructure, lack of likelihood of flooding etc.

BU2/ H - Scalebor House. Burley has almost reached its original target without this large development on green belt, currently a green corridor along the railway. (Green corridors are extolled in the plan). Why must Burley take the overflow when targets elsewhere are missed?. As per answer to Q3, Bradford has 5000 unoccupied properties, many acres of land said to be 'unviable', as well as brownfield sites.

Repeated mention of green corridors begs the question whether green corridors are to be formed by developing previously undeveloped green land either side of the proposed new corridor, ie. were green before but not corridors as the whole area was green. Confirmation would be welcome.
