Baildon & Shipley FOE – BA2/H
1. Note NPPF requirements paragraphs 136 and 137
2. Contravenes a core principle of Bradford’s Sustainable Development Action Plan, ‘Living within environmental limits’.
2. There will be knock-on effects of increase in traffic leading to further pressure on West Lane itself and neighbouring roads and the centre of Baildon, essentially creating further bottlenecks;
4. There are concerns about increased toxicity from traffic, increased danger to school children at Sandal Primary School, pressure on Sandal Primary School capacity, and the need to enlarge the school to absorb the potential increased intake. It is noted that a similar situation exists in respect of Salt School.
5. Essentially, the existing infrastructure in Baildon will struggle to cope with increased housing without addressing this issue.
