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

Representation ID: 5414

Respondent: Mr J Cadamarteri

Representation Summary:

I object to the DBDLP for Thornton and wish to submit my objection document (further information supplied in detailed document).
I consider the plan for Thornton to be completely inappropriate with 7 green sites targeted as "easy pickings" and have prepared a detailed document for submission.
I consider that CBMDC, its officers and elected councilors have demonstrated a continuing lack of vision for regeneration of this city whilst this DBDLP consultation document confirms the council is targeting the greenfield / green belt areas in historic outskirts villages without a comprehensive plan for utilising the significant brownfield, derelict, industrially dormant areas apparent across this city.
The DBDLP document is incomplete with no study / forecasts on significantly increased traffic volumes within the village and the corresponding effects on road safety and pollution.
Additionally, the DBDLP document contains only vague statements regarding increased facility capacity provision e.g. schools, GP capacity, road capacity and recreational areas.
