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

Representation ID: 650

Received: 02/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Russell Watt

Representation Summary:

No new infrastructure to support additional volume of traffic throughout the village. St Paul’s Rise and Southfield Lane already busy routes with further compounding this. Further reduction in green areas throughout the village spoiling its rural characteristics. Protected wildlife species in adjoining fields that could be under threat if hunting habitats reduced. Heavy construction traffic would result pollute and damage the local area and the village is not built for heavy vehicles driving through. This was abundantly clear recently when an accident on the bypass resulted in all traffic diverted through the village causing it to grind to a halt. Green belt area being considered when surely there must be other areas better suited to preserve the status quo of the village. U turn on core strategy revised in 2019 to reduce volume of new homes required
