KY19/H - Long Lee Lane

Respondent: Linda Ling

KY19/H is a greenfield site with access via Moss Carr Road. Moss Carr Road is a narrow road whose residents do not have off street parking therefore the road has very limited and difficult access.
Moss Carr Road leads to a crossroads with Long Lee Lane, Calton Road and Thwaites Brow Road and visibility is poor with some blind spots from all these roads. There have been numerous near misses and building on Moss Carr Road with any increase of vehicles can only exacerbate this situation. In addition, traffic, including large wagons use this crossroads as a turning circle once the drivers realise they cannot access the by-pass via The Twines. The impact assessment fails to show that the road would not be able to accommodate a further 142 houses with 2 cars per household minimum without serious traffic intervention modifications.

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.

KY19 is a greenfield site. The land is boggy and waterlogged as can be seen at the village hall adjacent to the proposed development where a pump was installed by BMDC is in operation 24/7 to drain away the water. In heavy rain the pump is unable to cope with the excess water which in turn drains onto the adjacent fields. The Crag is directly above this land. The proposed access is close to a busy crossroads and with its poor visibility from all roads there have been numerous near misses. HGV use the entrance to this road as a turning circle once the drivers realise they can't access the by-pass via the historical cobbled road.

The impact of proposing to accommodate a further 142 dwellings (KY18+KY19) with 2 cars per household minimum would need serious traffic intervention measures.

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!

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.

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.
