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

Representation ID: 559

Received: 27/02/2021

Respondent: Mr David Park

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the housing proposals for Addingham AD3. The proposed site is green belt land and should be ring-fenced against any development. A further 49 properties will place undue pressure on current drainage and sewage provision which already struggles at times to cope with the current load. New homes will result in more children and more pressure on places in the local primary school, and catchment areas for local secondary schools will tighten. We fear that St. Paul's Rise will take the brunt of construction traffic for several years to come, and after that the extra traffic from the new housing. This development, together with the other planned developments, will turn what should be a village into an urban sprawl adversely affecting the environment for all those living in the village. Brown field sites throughout the Bradford District should ALL be utilised before turning to green belt land.
