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

Representation ID: 5175

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Jenkins

Representation Summary:

There is a total disconnect between the housing aspirations, and therefore employment, and the transport reality, due to decades of the policy of 'development first and infrastructure (maybe) later'. For example The Wharfe Valley, like all valleys, is restricted in the amount of service and infrastructure routes available, and what was available has long been used up, and is already creaking.

Consequently house prices are too high for most industrious to attract employees in such areas.

Employment route needs to start at early school level.

A Local Growth Centre here is a near impossibility for oft repeated and even sometimes acknowledged reasons.
