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

Representation ID: 6029

Received: 01/03/2021

Respondent: Deborah Holmes

Agent: Rose Consulting

Representation Summary:

1. The site would provide an opportunity for the creation of a strong, defensible Green Belt boundary.

2. In isolation, site OA1/H constitutes an irregular protrusion into the Green Belt.

3. The reasons for rejecting the site are not substantiated and appear contrived.

4. As cited, my client is aware of no SWF issues. SuDS would remedy any problems.

5. The site could deliver a major positive effect on the health SA Objective. Minor positive effects were predicted for nearly all other socio-economic SA Objectives.

6. A HRA would be undertaken to ensure there are no significant effects on these protected sites.

7. Development would cause only very minimal landscape impact.

8. Heritage has been cited as a reason for rejection but it appears no HIA was carried out.

9. The site is sustainable located adjacent to the settlement boundary within a reasonable proximity to services and facilities.
