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

Representation ID: 7949

Received: 12/03/2021

Respondent: Sylvia Walker

Representation Summary:

Building on Green Belt land is in contravention to the Government’s aims and objectives.
Local authorities should maximise the use of suitable brownfield sites before considering changes to Green Belt boundaries. Where, in this plan, are the proposals for brownfield sites I ask?
The NPPF demands that there should be “exceptional circumstances” before Green Belt boundaries can be changed. Bradford Council has not provided sufficient justification for why these green belt sites should be considered
section 5.14.24 states that the villages are "constrained" but have been enlarged (doubled) in recent times- it is unfair to have overloaded (out of all proportion to our size).
Mental health should not be set aside for more development
Local health care has struggled to keep up with demand
It is environmentally irresponsible to impose more housing
