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

Representation ID: 6763

Received: 11/03/2021

Respondent: Steve Dolan

Representation Summary:

Drainage the currant green field acts as a lager sponge capturing a lot of water which during heavy rain fall gets over loaded now making West lane like a river.
If the plan is to build on the Two combined fields 122 homes with parking etc then the water will have no place to go as in no land to absorb the water.
The only way you can allow building on this site would be to insist on expensive water capture/holding systems which just won’t happen.
Traffic.
Given 122 homes you will expect there to be at least Two if not Three cars per residence this will just add to what is a big problem with the amount of traffic Westlane now.

Wild life
West lane hosts a numerus wild live including Bats , Owls and even deer this development will take away the basic habitat offered by the currant field and trees.
