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

Representation ID: 28855

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).

If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.

For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.

For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.

It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.

Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

The western boundary of the site is close to the Grade II listed Dean House. Two further Grade II Listed Buildings are to the north-west of the site. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this designated heritage asset. Whilst the setting of this building has experienced significant change with the recent development on the east side of Allerton Lane it is still necessary to consider the impact of the development of this site on this designated heritage asset. If allocated, the Plan should make it clear that development proposals for this area would need to ensure that those elements which contribute to the significance of this heritage asset are not harmed.
Site NW15/H, add the following additional Development Consideration to the site pro forma:
‘Development should conserve and, where possible, enhance those elements which contribute to the significance of heritage assets in the vicinity of the site.’
