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

Representation ID: 29592

Received: 29/03/2021

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

Whilst it is acknowledged that this is not an exhaustive list, it is disappointing that there is no reference made to
Bradford’s historic environment. The historic environment
makes a significant contribution to the distinctive character of Bradford District, to its economic well-being, and to the quality of life of its communities.
Amend accordingly.

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

Representation ID: 29891

Received: 01/04/2021

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

We advise that consideration should be given to further inclusion of references to environmental restoration at bullet point 7 of paragraph 1.2.8, and at bullet point 1 of paragraph 1.2.9, as follows:

Protection and restoration of 1 special protection area, 4 SSSIs, 4 local nature reserves, 108 local wildlife sites and 16 local geographical sites.

Protecting and restoring our environmental resources and requiring new development to leave biodiversity in a measurably better state than beforehand, contribute towards mitigating impacts in some of our most valuable landscape and habitat areas and minimise impact on heritage assets.
