Respondent: Bradford Shipley Travel Alliance

This response is from Bradford-Shipley Travel Alliance, in furtherance of the statement that its allied organisations support (www.bsta.org.uk), without distracting from any comments that any of those organisations may make.
There seem to be major contradictions between this local area plan and the Strategic and Thematic Policies on Climate Change, and Transport.
The Shipley Eastern Relief Road does not need to be protected, as less traffic will mean that ‘in line’ adjustments to the existing junctions will be sufficient to provide relief.
The Plan’s strategic priorities should be defended against contrary measures in current plans, not tucked around them like fancy decoration around a poisoned chalice.
These two major housing developments must include the explicit consideration that they should be the council’s favoured level of zero traffic.
The planning of Canal Road Corridor as imaginative net-zero carbon emission developments would support local, regional and national policy on climate emergency.
