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

Representation ID: 886

Received: 07/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Julie Evans

Representation Summary:

I challenge the summary which suggests “minor adverse effects predicted of the natural environment/ a greenfield site which contains TPO woodland and trees and deciduous woodland priority habitat”.Proposal of 125 houses
means the roads which serve it ie Exley Rd will have increased traffic / pollution with less trees /
greenfield to counter the pollution.Likely to need traffic calming measures which again increase pollution. There has been significant development recently Occupation Lane and old Bronte School site to increase traffic on Oakworth Road.The site is described as having good access which is incomprehensible. Is there any data on how many occupiers would chose public transport over private car? Is this considered as part of the assessment of suitability? Another 125 houses would be a significant increase in dwellings in a small space. Unclear what the positive effects for residents on health and education would be ?
