Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Labour)

Summarised and merged from 2 separate submissions by Local Plan Team
1) it is a very comprehensive draft document which provides Wyke ward with a vision for the future.
The sites identified for housing are the most suitable and those on the rejected list are ones we agree with.
The majority of the sites are small to medium in size, mainly on brownfield or designated green field sites. The one exception is the site on Staithgate Lane, which has had a planning application determined.
The ward councillors are also working to add to the services on offer at Low Moor railway Station, with plans for the stage 2 car park (already with planning permission).
2) point 5.3.11. Low Moor & Wyke local Centres - We have concerns over diversification (too many take-aways) . It was thought that introducing policies EN5 & DS5 of the Core Strategy Development Plan documents and the Hot Foods Takeaways Supplementary Planning Document would support local centres across the district.
We do not want to see empty shops, however it is important to have vibrant centres throughout the day not just at evenings.
