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

Representation ID: 8453

Received: 15/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Benjamin Sugden

Representation Summary:

1) Flood risk - there is excessive surface water flooding because of heavy rain fall. Once built on I am overly concerned that this issue will be made worse, the current plan is to install a water storage until and to potentially divert excess water into the local beck. This is just simply moving the issue elsewhere. I know the local water plant has also rejected plans for them to receive any further waste other than brown waste as they are running to capacity.
2) Road network There have been many occasions where emergency services, bin men and large delivery vehicles are unable to get up or down March Cote due to the high number of cars parked.
3) Education - is of the most importance. Schools being to full capacity .

4) Wildlife/ Biodiversity - This build will negatively impact the Roebuck, Foxes, Hedgehogs, Bats and large amount of native birds. Biodiversity has not been considered enough, it is inevitable that more habitats will be destroyed. Greenbelt land, there are many brown belt plots around the Bradford area that could be considered for builds like this.
