I strongly feel that the our village plan adopted by Bradford council in 2020 should be honored and respected. Following the referendum, CBMDC agreed to formally make (adopt) the neighbourhood plan on 22 January 2020 and I am concerned that the plans I have seen, along with the very short timescales for comments, contravene our agreement. I appreciate the need for quality, affordable housing but at what cost? Greenfield sites, including those in the village ‘envelope’ and in the surrounding Green Belt should not be built on. Previously developed land should be preferred wherever possible. There is a clear preference for smaller developments, in different parts of the village, rather than development of one large site, as long as access issues are appropriately addressed. I fail to see how 175 new houses forms part of this plan.
