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

Representation ID: 528

Received: 26/02/2021

Respondent: Mr Richard Ware

Representation Summary:

Developing on this land will significantly increase the traffic on Moor Lane, which has already become a busy road, with bad junctions at the bottom going into the main village (Skipton Road and Moor Park Drive).
Extra cars would cause more congestion in the historic village which is already struggling to cope with cars parked on both sides and traffic (including buses) flowing both ways.
Moor Lane is already struggling with water drainage issues that will further increase with extra housing, causing more environmental strain on the area.
The green belt land in Addingham should be kept at all costs to stop Addingham turning into just another Bradford suburb and keep its unique appeal - with listed buildings (2 of which are right next to this site).
Addingham also does not have the infrastructure for these extra houses with the local schools and amenities already at capacity.
