I offer support for the enhancement and further development of cycling and walking routes, in addition to restoration of bradford beck and connected high quality habitat corridors. This is critical for both people and wildlife and will enhance Bradford and Shipley through improved green and blue infrastructure, as well as air quality.

This response is from Bradford-Shipley Travel Alliance, in furtherance of the statement that its allied organisations support (www.bsta.org.uk), without distracting from any comments that any of those organisations may make.
There seem to be major contradictions between this local area plan and the Strategic and Thematic Policies on Climate Change, and Transport.
The Shipley Eastern Relief Road does not need to be protected, as less traffic will mean that ‘in line’ adjustments to the existing junctions will be sufficient to provide relief.
The Plan’s strategic priorities should be defended against contrary measures in current plans, not tucked around them like fancy decoration around a poisoned chalice.
These two major housing developments must include the explicit consideration that they should be the council’s favoured level of zero traffic.
The planning of Canal Road Corridor as imaginative net-zero carbon emission developments would support local, regional and national policy on climate emergency.

It is not considered that locating development within the
settlements within the Canal Road Corridor Area, on their own, 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.
However, the quantum of sites forms part of a wider cumulative impact within the Canal Road Corridor 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.
