Please see attaIn addition to our wider strategic objection to the Plan’s proposed Green Belt allocations, we also have grave concerns in SE Bradford about what the Green Belt deletion would enable. We understand that the council may wish to bring development to the area to address deprivation, we do not accept that development of these allocations will bring the targeted benefits that are needed, and will instead have net negative impacts. By removing Green Belt land at Holme Wood, the amount of accessible green space to residents is reduced. It is also entirely unclear how the development of these sites is, or is not, co-dependent with the SE Bradford Access Road, which is referred to in the Plan but not indicated on the proposals map and not mentioned in the transport policies. The air quality, noise and severance associated with the new road would have a disproportionate negative impact on the access to and enjoyment of green space for those deprived neighbourhoods.
Consequently, in our opinion these allocations will not only have an impact on the function of the Green Belt, but the Green Belt deletions will enable unsustainable outcomes.
In line with our comments on policy SP5, we also object to these site allocations:
