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

Representation ID: 5517

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Miss Sara Hughes

Representation Summary:

Harden will lose its identity as a historic village and will become a town but without access to a town's facilities. The proposed dwelling sites will have adverse affects on greenfield and green belt land. They will have a detrimental impact on Grade II and Grade II Listed Buildings close to said proposed dwellings. There are a number of tree protection orders in place on or adjacent to the proposed dwelling sites. The outlook will be majorly impacted and our beautiful village will lose a high percentage of its charm and appeal. The school cannot take more pupils, the village cannot support the level of traffic it already has and there are increased issues already with high speeding vehicles and parking. We have badger sets that roam freely in the gardens around the village and destroying more land will adversely affect these protected creatures. Also fox dens.
