The proposed site is on the entrance to the village presently a green border, the site is adjacent to one of bradfords most iconic sites hewenden viaduct. A poster picture site for bradford and yorkshire with numerous aerial photographs and videos, encroaching into the surrounding green belt destroys this.

Access to the site will be dangerous coming at a change in speed part of the road

Relatively small you woild hope other more sympathetic sites could be found locally

I object to the inclusion of this site because:

• It is green belt
• Poor public transport
• Poor access
• Woodland habitat

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.

1. The site is in the green belt and adjoins the eastern urban edge of the village.

2. Cullingworth Road is a busy road and speed calming measures would need to be implemented.

3. It will have an effect adverse on wildlife.

Cullingworth was first recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and whilst the Conservation Area covers the core of the original pre-19th century centre of the village, Cullingworth has retained much of its rural and green setting and this contributes to the unique character and sense of place. We refer to item 3.5.1., and we support the aim set out in the NPPF of preventing urban sprawl and keeping land permanently open. The land quoted above is in Green Belt and development would have a significant impact on the unique character of Cullingworth.

GNT runs along the southern border and the woodland habitat needs to be protected. The site is adjacent to priority woodland and the habitat network and a buffer would be expected on the southern edge with habitat to enhance the woodland.
The Village Council would not be in favour of the development of this Green Belt site as there are acceptable alternatives.
