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

Representation ID: 677

Received: 03/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Jenny Butterworth

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the developments on Long Lane. My reasons are that the housing would be built on green belt land. You say that you want to avoid using green belt land but 7 of the 8 proposed sites are green belt. This area has already had many new housing developments, all of which are accessed via Long Lane. There is too much vehicular traffic on Long Lane as it is, and many of the new houses here have 2 or 3 vehicles each. There are many pedestrians, cyclists, dog walkers, children and joggers. The pavements are very narrow and non existent in places. This is a dangerous narrow road and we regularly have motorists speeding along it. Further along the road it narrows to a single lane, winding round a blind bend with no pavement at all. There is also no provision for infrastructure, such as doctor's, etc.
