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

Representation ID: 553

Received: 26/02/2021

Respondent: Lucinda Wakefield

Representation Summary:

This is exceptionally precious green belt land - it is not acceptable or appropriate for house building, particularly not on the scale of 49 houses (cumulative total when combined with the other proposal for heights lane East side). New development needs to take place on brown belt land; sacrificing green belt is an unnecessary and irretrievable step.
We now understand more about the ecological and environmental necessity of the countryside and preserving nature than we have ever done before - I cannot comprehend how this land is considered suitable for building development. It is simply not justifiable. It is also going to overload an already very dangerous road, mini roundabout and village where traffic levels are already high and unsustainable. The Prince of Wales park is also a precious local resource that would be adversely affected and this is again not environmentally tenable. We need to protect our natural resources.
