Bradford has a plentiful supply of brownfield sites that have not been developed.
In her judgement dated 8/6/2020 in Aireborough Neighbourhood Development Forum vs Leeds City Council, Mrs Justice Lieven found that it was wrong to leave Green Belt sites in a development plan solely because the Council wished to reduce the numbers around the district proportionately. Green belt should be removed from the plan and brownfield sites built on first.
This judgement is surely just as relevant to Bradford.
Our Prime Minister's "Build Build Build" announcement on 30/6/2020 said brownfield building would be made easier to protect Green Belt. This should be bourne in mind and our Green Belt not built on.

In regards, to local services the Guardhouse/Braithwaite area is particularly poorly served, currently having no meeting place, no doctors surgery, no parklands. So, with the planned housing developments stipulation of investment in leisure would be most welcome.

It is not considered that locating development within the
settlements within Keighley, 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 Keighley 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.

I am writing to submit feedback regarding the land allocations identified within Keighley West Ward.
My first observation is that Keighley West Ward has no parks and limited green space amenity; this ought to be addressed through the Local Plan to address this imbalance to ensure that residents “buy in” to the Plan and feel that this is a document that is owned by the whole District.
In addition to green space and parkland, the other issue that needs ought to be taken into consideration is the drainage. There has been significant development over the last few years in the Oakworth Road area, namely the former Bronte School site and the Occupation Lane site. Both these sites have contributed to significant drainage issues in the area. The area is not equipped to deal with these developments.

We welcome that each of the Local Area Strategy’s for the
Keighley area specify that development should seek to
ensure that development conserves and enhances key
heritage assets and their settings.
