Respondent: Baildon Walkers are Welcome Group

Although we support new housing development on this site, we are concerned that the track / Right of Way adjacent to it, and the Recreation Ground and The Dell, should be protected as an important green walking route from Baildon to Shipley, as well as a place for recreation.

This is land that would be best used as community allotments

a. I would hate to see this development take away the last playing field for this area of Baildon.
b. Access to the site needs to be looked at very carefully to avoid excess congestion or inconvenience.

I support this in general as it is part brownfield and part greenfield site. Given previous difficulties with the selling of other properties built on the curtilage of the old Ferniehurst School, I would expect that this will be an extension of social housing. It should be noted that the nearest primary school geographically is at the top of Baildon Bank.
A concern is that recreation land is being taken away. The UDP of 2005 pages 15 and 16 references this. Further when the existing, adjacent housing development was first suggested it was recognised that this recreation land ought to be compensated.

This heritage site should be recognised as totally unsuitable for development, let alone 20 houses, no matter how sensitively designed. The fact that it is a green lung the residents without a vehicle can access for recreation and health is being eroded by BMDC Planning Dept.'s inability to leave any green space alone. The wildlife alone makes it a delightful oasis that needs protecting, not developing. This beautiful green space is 10 minute walk for myself and many other residents yet our needs are being cynically exploited for other peoples gain. Please leave our last remaining locally accessible nature abundant green space alone.

This will add more traffic to the already overloaded Baildon Road.

I write regarding concerns to the proposed plans for new housing on the above sites.

More houses would mean further demand on local resources such as GP practices, which are already stretched, dental practices, there are already no vacancies for an NHS dentist in the local area, there would also be more competition for school places.

More roads would mean an increase in traffic which is already heavy in the village.

Fewer trees would mean more flooding, Green Lane in particular already has issues with flooding. The loss of these green spaces would also have a major effect on the local wildlife & would also impact on general well-being.

Regarding the Local Plan for Bradford I would like to object to the Plans being made for the building of housing in Baildon. There are too many houses for the road network as it is so additional housing with cause greater congestion, noise pollution and more.

This is another greenfield site and provides much needed green space in a built up area. Richard Whiteley Drive is adjacent to this site and unfortunately this land was developed by Bradford Council with approval by the Regulatory and Appeals committee to provide 52 privately owned properties and for 20 social housing properties but due to the Council’s ineptitude many homes were left empty for years and we now have just 11 privately owned houses here. Therefore I would like to put on record that if this site is developed in the future then serious consideration needs to be given to the type of properties with the aim to enhance this part of Baildon.

This is an area of former school playing fields and is in an area of largely social-housing. Once again it is important to ensure community facilities are prioritised as there is very little in this area, particularly for young children and teenagers. Once again exit routes all lead to the congested Otley Road.

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.

The site is within the Saltaire World Heritage Site (WHS) buffer zone. The site is also close to the Grade II listed Ferniehurst Farm. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.

The Heritage Impact Assessment for this site concluded that development will have no impact on the character and setting of the WHS or Ferniehurst Farm, as there are no obtainable views between the site and either designated heritage asset. Historic England would concur with this analysis and with the assessment of the degree of harm that the development of this site would be likely
to cause. Historic England would also endorse the development considerations that have been included in the pro forma for this site.
