I strongly object to the Local Plan for the following reasons.

The destruction and use of Greenbelt land instead of using Brown sites.

The siting of the new road that cuts right through the Greenbelt land in Tong and Fulneck Valley, plus the real threat of causing more flooding further down the chain, into Becks and Troydale. This is a problem without the added burden of large sized building programmes making things worse.

Use your Brown sites more readily and leave the Greenbelt for recreation and peoples well being, plus sustaining the wild life.

Respondent: Historic England

The masterplans must cover landscape and heritage
considerations. The urban extension at Holme Wood lies extremely close to the north-western edge of the Registered Battlefield at
Adwalton. It could also result in harm to the setting of a
number of Listed Buildings in its vicinity including the Grade II* Listed Ryecroft Hall. If there have been any significant changes to the sites circumstances or the development proposed is significantly different (e.g. in terms of land use, density, scale, developable area etc.), the Council should update the Heritage Impact Assessment as part of the Evidence Base to the emerging Local Plan. Whilst it is recognised that this area will be important to meet the future housing requirements of Bradford, the Plan should be seeking to ensure that it is developed in a manner which safeguards those elements which contribute to the significance of the designated historic assets in its vicinity.

Add the following additional text - ‘Growth at Holme Wood will be delivered in a manner which safeguards the character and setting of the Registered Battlefield at
Adwalton and the other designated heritage assets in its vicinity.’

• Community / Kirklees ward member / officer engagement: The council request that Kirklees Council officers, ward councillors and the community in the area close to the proposals (particularly Birstall and Birkenshaw / Cleckheaton wards) continue to be consulted as the proposals evolve to ensure any cross-boundary issues are fully considered.

• Education provision:
o The council is keen to review further evidence as it emerges relating to the impacts of the proposed development on education provision in Kirklees.

o Kirklees Council is keen to understand any air quality implications of the proposals on the Kirklees road network. An Air Quality Management Area in the southern area of Birkenshaw (Whitehall Road East/Bradford Road) should be considered when assessing air quality implications.
o The council is keen for walking and cycling links to be improved in this area especially where this links to Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans and where proposals could facilitate links to the existing/indicative Core Walking and Cycling networks set out in the Kirklees Local Plan.

Respondent: Leeds City Council

At this time we note that Bradford City Council are not proposing to identify a further set of safeguarded land as in its view there is not enough evidence at present to support further release. Within this consultation there is a further call for sites, however this decision will be reviewed following the consultation and further work on the extent of growth options which includes the land to the east of Holmewood through the potential investment in the form of the South East Bradford Access Road (SEBAR).

We wish to reserve our position on this as additional work until this evidence/information is provided through further consultation and duty to cooperate discussions.

However, significant concern is raised regarding the SEBAR and its impacts on the green belt, on Leeds City Council’s Site Allocations Plan (adopted September 2019) identified and allocated sites and the impact upon climate change. Both Leeds City Council and Bradford MDC have declared Climate Emergencies. The Council would not wish to see an incremental growth of the South East of Bradford (potentially invited through safeguarded land designations) which would raise future issues around infrastructure provision / burdens on development that are best dealt with at an early stage and in a comprehensive manner.
