Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 5650
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Mr Richard Powne
No reason to build on precious Green Belt land when so many Brownfield sites are available across Bradford District
Flood risk already significant (flood zones 2 and 3)
Ribbon development / urban sprawl along the A65 especially given the proposed developments in Burley and Addingham. Could lead to creation of a Wharfedale corridor
Adverse impact on the special character of Ilkley
Already overburdened infrastructure in Ilkley (shops, medical, schools) - doubtful it will be able to cope
Secondary schooling in Ilkley is already at capacity - there is no provision for any more
Adverse impact on road safety re exit onto A65 and pressure on transport links
Sewage sites already unable to cope with demand and regularly overflow
