This is a significant increase in the number of homes in Long Lee and Thwaites Brow, the connecting roads for this area (Park Lane and Thwaites Brow Road) are not suitable for heavy traffic. The bridge and underpass at the bottom of Park Lane regularly cause traffic queues due to the poor design and road layout, Thwaites Brow Road is a very narrow, very steep, cobbled road with tight corners. Neither is suitable for a significant increase in traffic. Further building of this level in this area, must be linked to improved roads

103 dwellings on Moss Carr Road is way too many dwellings for a narrow cul de sac road and is not suitable or safe for access to a major development. Planning applications for smaller developments on this site have been refused on 3 previous occasions citing road safety and poor drainage issues as grounds for refusal. The condition of MCR surface and drainage issues have deteriorated further since the last refusal in 1981. The road floods regularly and has a dog leg bend making it dangerous.

Keighley South East

We have a great deal of brownfield land in Keighley ready for housing, with access to shops, surgeries and transport. It does not make sense to destroy the green fields in Long Lee, especially for the huge development suggested for Moss Carr. Long Lee and Thwaites Brow already has a wide mix of old and new housing, including affordable housing.

Building 103 new houses on this quiet lane would be wrong in so many ways. The land is boggy. The sewage and waste water run-off would be catastrophic for the land and farmhouses below. Moss Carr is a quiet country lane providing access to farms and the few houses along it. It is much used and loved by locals for recreation and access to the moors and fields, with views across to Keighley Moor. It has been a lifeline during lockdown. Please do not ruin it.

I wish to object the the proposed idea of building on Moss Carr Road in Long Lee, codes KY18/H, KY19/H. Adding 142 dwellings to the Long Lee area is not viable. The infrastructure of the area could not support an increase in residents this big. The roads are already busy due to the school and current residents, there is only one small local shop, there is no post office anymore and the buses only run once an hour. In addition to this the doctors surgery is only able to operate three days a week due to lack of staff. This is not an area that can cope with a huge influx of new residents that this proposed build will create.
In addition to this the fields around Long Lee make it a green place to live and it would be detrimental to the local area to further reduce this space.

KY18/H is a large site with a proposed 103 dwellings situated on Moss Carr Road. It is a greenfield site in an area of Thwaites that is used by the local residents for recreational purposes and would be detrimental to the wellbeing of the local community if it were to be built on. Moss Carr Road is a narrow road but especially so at the access point of this site. Due to the type of housing already built on Moss Carr Road many vehicles are parked both sides of the road due to the lack of driveways, there are no footpaths and vehicles travelling this road need to proceed with extreme caution.
In addition to the traffic problems on Moss Carr Road the extra traffic would cause the already dangerous junction between Moss Carr Raod, Thwaites Brow Road, Long Lee Lane and Calton Road to become even more hazardous.

Long Lee/Thwaites Brow cannot sustain more housing. Local amenities, doctors, schools etc do not have capacity. Access is already difficult, on both main road into town/Coney Lane and narrow residential streets.
It is doubtful that the sewerage systems would be able to cope with additional housing.
This is a rural area, green fields and these need to remain to protect the natural habitats and wildlife. This area is already overdeveloped, and it is vital that the council maintains its integrity as a rural area and not build more. Green space has a benefit on health and mental wellness for the people who live here as well as those who can easily visit from more heavily developed areas nearer the town centre.
We are on the edge of the Yorkshire dales and local affinity lies with there, not an urban city environment.

KY18 is a greenfield site. The Moss Carr Road is particularly narrow and owing to the type of houses built, many vehicles are parked both sides of the road due to the lack of driveways and vehicles have to proceed with extreme caution. The proposed site is waterlogged and extremely boggy. Excess water from the Crag flows unrestricted and the drains already do not cope with this. The site backs onto Moss Carr Avenue the gardens of which are regularly flooded. It should be noted that the land in the Victorian era was used for mines and when mines collapsed these were not excavated nor were the bodies of the miners who died below ground.

Access is poor to the site and the development has its only exit from Moss Carr Road via a busy crossroads which has poor visibility.

This area cannot sustain more development. The local school would not be able to manage extra children, which there will be as this housing is aimed at being affordable for young families. Access would be extremely difficult, narrow residential streets would not be able to cope with heavy plant traffic. The main road into Keighley is already extremely busy and coney lane and railway line cannot take more traffic.
This is a rural area, not an urban area and needs the green space which is in short supply in the area. Keeping green space is important for the wildlife and environment as well as for the people who live here.

Moss Carr Road is very busy with parked cars and effectively one-way. Additional houses (sites KY18/H & KY19/H) will create unacceptable congestion. Query where people will park and whether road can handle 100 new vehicles using it daily.

Park Lane Bridge needs to be addressed. It has huge amounts of traffic. Were requirements for new development in Long Lee were to tackle this problem but nothing has been done. Query when this will be addressed.

Services in Long Lee do not have the capacity to support additional homes.

KY19/H is Green Belt land and should be protected not destroyed. It is a nature habitat for birds (ducks, geese, herons, stalks).

We enjoy views across the valley to the Yorkshire Dales which are a major asset to our property and strongly object to this changing.

Our rear garden enjoys privacy and seclusion which is an asset to the property and will be damaged by additional development.

Plans should be reviewed to preserve the Long Lee and Moss Carr Road community, habitats for wildlife and stop suburbanisation.

I strongly object to Bradford Council building houses on Greenbelt land. There are enough Brown field sites with abandoned buildings and unused warehousing that should be considered first. Also what about housing that is unoccupied by missing landlords? Why aren’t these compulsory purchased to start with? You never consider the infrastructure, roads, doctors, schools, sewage, increased traffic etc., when drawing up these plans and what if any will be social housing which is the most needed of all builds? NONE!

We are pleased to see that the above site is allocated for housing in the Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021. There is at present a planning application in on the site, and we would hope that development will have begun on the site prior to the adoption of the new local plan.

Access - Moss Carr Road is already incredibly busy with parked cars, and much of the street is effectively a one-way system now. Congestion will be unacceptable. Query where people will park and whether road to handle extra vehicles.

Park Lane Bridge - Almost a single car at a time and already has huge amounts of traffic. Were requirements years ago that any new development in Long Lee had to tackle the problem - but nothing has been done and houses have been built anyway.

Amenities - Long Lee does not have the capacity to support hundreds of new homes.

Green Belt - this should be/is protected, and not destroyed. It’s a natural habitat for many birds, including ducks, migrating geese and sometimes even herons and storks.

Will have a detrimental effect on wellbeing and affect house prices. Re-think plan to preserve Long Lee/Moss Carr Road community, to preserve habitats and avoid become a congested suburb.
