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

Representation ID: 1928

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Burley Parish Council

Representation Summary:

BMDC has a target to be net zero on carbon emissions by 2038 and the aim of making significant progress on this by 2030. These policies do not apply to existing developments, so, we can only assume that the highest standards in energy efficiency will need to be applied to achieve those targets. Will BDMC be able to apply such standards immediately as a priority - even in advance of finalising these policies and the target date of 2024/2025, given that large developments are already proposed and we have net zero target dates which are fast approaching? Why not consider existing housing stock in these policies for retro-fitting? Retro-fitting renewable energy systems on existing housing stock and public buildings, will potentially reduce dependence of new developments on fossil fuels.

Representation Summary:

I agree with the Preferred Option but there should be an audit of greenhouse gasses to measure the progress of the plan in reducing CO2 levels.

Respondent: Mr Philip Sutcliffe

Representation Summary:

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.

Representation ID: 5945

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Baildon & Shipley Friends of the Earth

Representation Summary:

1. Refer to the Merton Local Plan, which requires the highest standards of sustainable design and construction.
2. A sustainable construction checklist SPD is required for many developments.
3. EN 10 states that the Council and its partners will “maximise” improvements in energy conservation and so on; yet then states that zero carbon standards will only need to be met for developments of fifty plus houses. This is a striking contradiction and should be amended so that all new developments (including single dwellings), residential and non-residential, should achieve zero carbon standards.
4. Certain stringent requirements concerning heating, need to be met, with a hierarchy dictating the source for the communal heating system.

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

Representation ID: 15772

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA)

Representation Summary:

The purpose the policy ‘to support a move to a lower carbon future’ is in broad alignment with the ambition for the City Region to become a resilient net-zero carbon economy by 2038.

An amendment to encourage higher standards more generally but also the identification of sites which have the potential to be exemplars of sustainability, and steps toward Passivhaus or similar would support market building for zero carbon homes.

The call for sites for renewable and low carbon options and technical work set out under Policy EN10 is welcomed and aligns with the West Yorkshire Devolution Deal 2020 and Strategic Priority 3 of the SEP.

Renewable potential / potential capacity was assessed in AECOM’s ‘Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Capacity in Yorkshire and Humber (2011). There is a need for increased renewable generation in W Yorkshire to meet the regional net-zero carbon target. Although Policy EN10 acknowledges this, there is a lack of clarity on the spatial or quantitative integration of zero carbon emissions infrastructure.

Representation ID: 16730

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Shipley Town Council

Representation Summary:

This policy is welcome but there are areas where it can be strengthened to ensure that delivering zero carbon emissions by 2038 is achieved.

Policy wording from the Merton Local Plan re sustainable design (see attached document) is advocated.

All new developments should meet zero carbon standards, not just those of 50+ homes as required by the policy.

There is nothing specific in EN10 on heating. Proposed heat supply policy wording is provided (see attached document).

The plan should also include a policy that states:
● Houses should not be being built that lock homeowners into the gas network for heating.

Representation ID: 19776

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Green)

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

This policy is very welcome, but needs to be significantly strengthened in order to deliver net zero carbon by 2030.

Example wording from Merton Local Plan is given.

EN10 states that the Council and its partners will “maximise” improvements in energy conservation etc, yet then states that zero carbon standards will only need to be met for developments of fifty plus houses. This is a striking contradiction - all new developments (residential and non-residential) should achieve zero carbon standards.

There is almost nothing specific in EN10 on heating. A proposed policy on heat supply is provided.

The plan should also include a policy that states:
Houses should not be built that lock homeowners into the gas network for heating.

Other LA's have adopted more far-reaching policies on low carbon building - Take the example of the ‘Merton Rule’, adopted by Merton Borough Council eighteen years ago in 2003 - The ‘rule’ states that all new developments should generate at least 10% of their energy requirements from on-site renewable energy.
