he green belt was set up to stop urban expansion. In the case of
Bradford, to stop it becoming part of Leeds. Bradford planning office
being completely undemocratic wishes to pour cement and tarmac all
over the green belt in Tong. The reason I say undemocratic is as
follows. ~There has not been one survey, or opinion poll taken in
Bradford, which agrees with Bradford councils views on building on
green belt. In fact approx 90 % of population of Bradford totally
disagree with Bradford councils housing and road plans. However, the council which claims
represents the people is acting like a fascist state.

Your new road and housing plans directly effect my Grade II house and
land. However, you have not had the decency to contact me over the
last 10 years. I doubt you care less about me than the environment and
the creatures that need it.

Respondent: The Strategic Land Group

Agent: Walsingham Planning

The Strategic Land Group support the objectives and proposed outcomes of each of these Policies; the delivery of appropriate employment land, sites, zones, job creation and skill delivery are essential for the District’s future prosperity.

However, without the delivery of sufficient housing opportunities to support these initiatives, key elements of the District’s existing and future workforce will be lost and their skills and ambitions will be utilised in other localities.

The Draft Local Plan proposes the same annual scale of annual job creation as the adopted Core Strategy but contains a housing delivery target that is over 30% lower. For the proposed scale of job creation to be delivered and the strategic sites and enterprise and other zones to be developed and occupied the Draft Local Plan housing delivery target must be increased, as a minimum to reflect the figure derived from the standard method.

Agent: Lichfields

The aims of Policy EC3 in improving local skills delivery and opportunities for local employment is unreservedly supported. In order to best achieve these goals and to maximise the improvement of local employment and skills it is recommended that the requirement set out in Part A of the policy, requiring at least 10% of the workforce employed from 20% of the most deprived areas, to be applied flexibly and ‘wherever possible’ added to this part of the policy to ensure that projects are not delayed or undermined by unnecessary skills shortages.
