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

Representation ID: 978

Received: 08/03/2021

Respondent: Bradford District Ward Councillor (Labour)

Representation Summary:

Summarised and merged from 2 separate submissions by Local Plan Team
1) it is a very comprehensive draft document which provides Wyke ward with a vision for the future.
The sites identified for housing are the most suitable and those on the rejected list are ones we agree with.
The majority of the sites are small to medium in size, mainly on brownfield or designated green field sites. The one exception is the site on Staithgate Lane, which has had a planning application determined.
The ward councillors are also working to add to the services on offer at Low Moor railway Station, with plans for the stage 2 car park (already with planning permission).
2) point 5.3.11. Low Moor & Wyke local Centres - We have concerns over diversification (too many take-aways) . It was thought that introducing policies EN5 & DS5 of the Core Strategy Development Plan documents and the Hot Foods Takeaways Supplementary Planning Document would support local centres across the district.
We do not want to see empty shops, however it is important to have vibrant centres throughout the day not just at evenings.

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.

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

Representation ID: 15428

Received: 19/03/2021

Respondent: Highways England (Yorkshire & North East Team)

Representation Summary:

The area of Bradford South East is bisected by the M606 and includes M606 Junctions 2 and 3. It is stated that there is 37.15 hectares of employment land and 2,362 dwellings proposed within Bradford South East.
On their own, it is considered that some of the individual sites will have a severe impact on the capacity, operation and safety of the SRN, and this will be identified through the transport evidence base being prepared by the Council / the individual assessment of the transport implications of the sites by the sites’ promoters.
Furthermore, the quantum of sites forms part of a wider cumulative impact within the Bradford South East Area and the rest of the development aspirations within the Plan could severely impact the SRN, and this cumulative impact will need to be established by the Council and considered by Highways England.

Respondent: Mr & Mrs . Pyrah and Saunders

Number of people: 4

Agent: ID Planning

Representation Summary:

-Bradford SE is a sustainable location.
-The proposed distribution to SE is too low, it will limit choice for the local residents and is reduced because there is an unrealistic quantum of housing to the City Centre.
-Support allocations but consider additional allocations are necessary to provide choice and ensure suitable deliverable sites are provided to meet local need across the South East area, particularly in the Wyke and Low Moor
-Site SE/070 provides a sustainable and deliverable site for housing that should be allocated to deliver the requirement in the area and provide a choice of housing for local people.

Required Change
Additional houses should be distributed to the SE in line with the baseline requirement.
Sustainable and deliverable sites should be allocated to ensure the housing requirement and the plan is deliverable such as site SE/070.
We support the recognition that Green Belt release.

Respondent: Harworth Group & Nufarm UK Ltd

Agent: Johnson Mowat

Representation Summary:

The key elements of the local area strategy for Low Moor and Wyke (bullet point list within box, page/paragraph unnumbered) should be amended to reflect that this area benefits from its location in close proximity to key infrastructure, in particular the motorway network via the Chain Bar junction (M62/M606/A58), which is a strategic asset and means to attract inward investment and facilitate economic and jobs growth.

The additional employment allocation that we propose north of Whitehall Road, Wyke should be specifically referenced within this bullet point list.
