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

Representation ID: 5207

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Helen Allen

Representation Summary:

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.

Representation Summary:

Although a small site KY40 is also part of this urban creep and more importantly, greenbelt. If approved it would create with KY36 (if approved) a pincer movement to taking over the whole of this area by in-fill. Situated just off a busy junction which is a shortcut for many motorists travelling from Keighley to Harden, Bingley, Wilsden and then onto Bradford.

This land is only part of a larger section which could then be encroached on if planning was to be approved for this site.

Representation Summary:

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.

Representation Summary:

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!

Although a small site, KY40/H is also part of this urban creep and more importantly, greenbelt. It would create with KY36/H a pincer movement to taking over the whole of this area by infill. Again, just off a busy junction which is a shortcut for many motorists travelling from Keighley to Bradford.

Representation Summary:

KY40/H is also part of this urban creep and again is greenbelt. Together with KY36/H this would have a detrimental impact on the local residents who currently have to exercise extreme caution when using this junction.

The main road into Keighley is limited to one way at Coney Bridge over the river and the railway viaduct runs overhead, therefore restricting any alteration to the current road lay out. This road cannot possibly support the increase in traffic as a result of the above proposed developments, the 3 proposed sites at Parkwood Rise, in addition to the current development on Long lee Lane and the proposed development on land located directly next to the bridge, yet the Local plan makes no provision for upgrading the road system in this area.

Respondent: Member of Parliament (Conservative)

Representation Summary:

Green belt should not be considered for development as it is in contravention to Governments aims and objectives.
Local Authorities should maximise the use of brownfield sites before considering changes to Green Belt boundaries.
There are no exceptional circumstances to justify releasing sites from Green Belt protection. All other reasonable options to meet housing need should be considered.
Inadequate proposals have been presented with regards to upgrading local infrastructure to cope with proposed extra housing. and extra pressures on local services.
There is no clear vision to increase passenger capacity on local public transport. This is in contravention to the Governments Decarbonising Transport strategic priority.
No justification for the proposed housing numbers identified to warrant removal of areas of Green Belt.

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:

Whilst the site is located outside of the boundary of the Saltaire World Heritage Site (WHS) buffer zone it is within an area where tall buildings could affect its setting. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of the World Heritage Site.
Development on this site is unlikely to be built to a height that would be visible from the World Heritage Site, and thereby impact upon the Outstanding Universal Value of Saltaire. However, given that this is highlighted as a risk in the Saltaire World Heritage Site Management Plan (2014) it would be prudent to identify it as a development consideration in the Local Plan pro forma for this site.
Site KY40/H, add the following additional Development Consideration to the site pro forma:
‘Development must avoid impacting upon the outstanding Universal Value of the Saltaire World Heritage Site through affecting long distance views of the Site.’
