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

Representation ID: 6937

Received: 09/03/2021

Respondent: Chris Bottomley

Representation Summary:

•The Green Belt at these sites is not only an aspiration for adults but also a focal point for children to see the livestock roaming in this area of moorland. There is nowhere else locally where this is available.
•122 new dwellings will have an impact on transportation.
•During COVID it take 20 minutes to get to Otley Road. Before COVID it could take 30/40 minutes at rush hour. Assuming 2 cars per household this will mean a further 244 cars trying to exit Baildon. Not including the vehicles from the other 95 dwellings proposed.
•Without improvements to road infrastructure this will lead to congestion and more exhaust fumes polluting those areas around the exit roads from Baildon.
•Proposed housing sites must be rejected as there is no way to improve the road network.
