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

Representation ID: 941

Received: 08/03/2021

Respondent: Mr John Slater

Representation Summary:

This is GREEN BELT LAND with access being by means of an unclassified VERY NARROW country lane WITHOUT PAVEMENTS. HEIGHTS LANE is used by many ramblers, horse riders, cyclists, dog walkers etc. and to allow further development will result in extra traffic putting people at further risk. Our family have lived in Heights Lane for over 30 years and we have seen an increased flow of traffic in recent years including heavy goods vehicles, skip wagons etc. (as well as the farm traffic which does use it on a regular basis, understandably). SPEEDING on HEIGHTS LANE has become an increasing danger to all that use it - the lane is governed by the national 60mph. speed limit (for its entirety), which is far too fast for this narrow country lane. FURTHER HOUSING WILL ONLY INCREASE THE DANGER, AS WELL AS FURTHER REDUCING PRECIOUS GREEN BELT LAND. PLEASE REJECT THE PROPOSALS!
