Respondent: Mr Simon Hoare

Representation Summary:

BU1/H
No exceptional circumstances to build on Greenbelt. The building of a School could have supported the case but CEG are not building a School and neither will Bradford Council confirm that they are.
The number of houses allocated to Burley has been made on the basis of maximising profit from this 500 house scheme. Exactly what additional facilities are being provided as part of this scheme? The existing residents of Burley can expect longer waiting list at the doctors. Longer commutes due to road congestion as well as busier trains to Leeds which are already full at peak times (a low % of people commute to Bradford)The long term damage to the Greenbelt will change the character of the entire valley for good. The decimation of wildlife. Including Barn Owls, Curlews and Bats is an absolute scandal. Add that to the fact it’s being built on a flood plain!
