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

Representation ID: 5670

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Steven Langton

Representation Summary:

I support part of the plans but have concerns regarding number of dwellings to be built. This would increase the amount of traffic in the village and there is already a significant amount. Measures to deal with speeding through the village are also needed. The public transport system needs to be improved as currently the bus timetables result in the different bus services running at times close together meaning if these are missed there is a long wait until another bus. The timetables also do not link up with the trains from Bingley. There is reference to good footpaths and cycle routes. I would disagree with this. For example, the only route to Bingley is down Harden Road with no cycle path and an inadequate footpath. Due to the amount and speed of traffic this is a dangerous route. There needs to be improvements to foot and cycle access.
