KY22/H - Parkwood Rise

Respondent: Mrs Christine Graham

The area of Parkwood is made up of steep roads lined by terrace houses and a school which has buildings on opposite sides of the road. The traffic situation becomes seriously bad at school times when parents need to park their vehicles. At peak times Parkwood Street becomes a rat-run for motorists to avoid the town centre chaos.

Heavy wagons are to be seen negotiating the chicanes due to the height restrictions at Coney Bridge. There are no amenities other than two small shops. There are no crossings along Parkwood Street and a 20mph although approved is still awaited.

Increased housing here would without doubt exacerbate the traffic flow situation at Coney Bridge and particularly so if further developments were approved in Long Lee and Thwaites.

Chatsworth Settlement Trustees (CST) continues to support this allocation, the site is available and CST is a willing land owner. Site KY22/H will support the local plan’s strategic approach for the District and for the principal town of Keighley (preferred option policies SP1, SP2 and SP3). The allocation will contribute to and help deliver the South East Keighley strategy. Key elements of this local area strategy for Keighley South East includes delivering 495 additional dwellings during the plan period (2020 to 2038). We have reviewed the information included on Site K22/H and have nothing to change or add to this.

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.
