Concerns over loss of green belt, impact on wildlife and inability of local infrastructure and community to support such rapid development. Fundamental change to the character of the village.

I am a resident of Burley in Wharfedale and also one of the Emergency Medicine Consultants at Airedale Hospital. The views I express are my own and not that of the hospital.

I strongly object to both of the planned housing developments primarily for the impact they will have on the Community Health infrastructure.

Residents / patients have the right to get the healthcare they deserve locally if that is what is required, and the proposed developments threatens this provision.

Number of new properties is inappropriate for the size of the village, which has already seen large new housing developments in the 25 years I have lived in the area. It will negatively impact on wildlife, particularly at Sun Lane where curlews and barn owls feed in the fields and have a negative impact on the Sun Lane nature reserve with increased domestic animals, from cats and increased footfall and waste from dog walkers. Furthermore, the infrastructure just isn't there for any new residents to use rail services with inadequate parking at the station to allow any growth. In addition, proposed affordable housing is unlikely to be such with - as 5.16.16 states, the total affordability ratio between house prices and annual earnings is 5.03 compared to a West Yorkshire average of 2.96, making a mockery to suggest building would meet local needs.

The site allocations bear no relation to the figures shown in ALL other BDMC planning documents....and are also wildly out of step with the ONS review , and the Migration figures for BDMC.
In view of this, and the fact that your SPD for the SPA/SAC relies on a fixed housing figure with which to apply its formula of Funding, I suggest it is in the councils BEST INTEREST to use the far more realistic figure across the district of 12,500 total build within the plan period within the 7km boundary of the SPA/SAC area... this would then generate the contribution figure of £520 per new housing unit, to then add up to the Budget figure for the Mitigation programme of £6.6million

I strongly object to any proposed development on Green Belt land, this land has been designated as such for good reason and its status should be protected as opposed to abused to fulfil an over-inflated housing need allocation. I also strongly object to the proposed development of greenfield land within the Green Belt, particularly when BMDC falsely claim they prioritise brownfield sites. Such sites have been identified and yet BMDC do nothing to pursue them in preference of greenfield / Green Belt. The way housing policy operates is hugely flawed.

Burley in Wharfedale has almost reached its original target without these large developments on green belt, which currently forms a green corridor along the railway. (Green corridors are frequently extolled in the plan). It is not clear why this village has to take the overflow from other areas which have not reached their targets, when the infrastructure of the valley is already creaking and there can be no more of the perceived policy of “develop first and think about the infrastructure (possibly) later”.. As well as 5000 unoccupied properties in Bradford, there are many acres of land said to be unviable, as well as brownfield sites.

Does BDMC have a true and long standing commitment to the Green Belt? It is very easy to constantly chip away at the Green Belt which will have long lasting detrimental impacts. Once gone it will not be returned. As the Plan states Burley "The Green Belt forms a tight boundary around the built-up area of Burley providing little room for growth and expansion". This adds to the attraction of living in Burley. As 5.16.28 states "Significant deficits of Natural and Semi-natural Greenspace, Parks and Gardens, Open Land in Settlements and Cemeteries." To destroy the Green Belt for housing will not address these deficits.
5.16.6 compares the economic activity rate for Burley and its average annual household income with West Yorkshire. Elsewhere in the Plan comparisons are made with Yorkshire & Humberside. Is this a case of choosing a comparison which supports the proposal rather than consistency?

BU1/H – 500 homes now being delivered, in addition to 190 already delivered in original plan period. Core Strategy obligation met apart from 10 dwellings, which could be delivered as windfall. Would fulfil requirement to deliver 700 homes in the current plan period. BU2/H – would mean exceeding this.

Transport network and schools at capacity, with no plans to address either issue. Road and bus connectivity to Bradford and Aire Valley employment centres are very poor. Statement about healthcare is contradictory.

Other areas not delivering.

Opposition to the Scalbor development is well-founded based on sustainability. No exceptional circumstances could justify development. Concern about viability of affordable and/or social housing.

Developers allowed to pay an affordable homes contribution, instead of on site delivery. Could end up with zero/very few affordable homes delivered. Will further polarise the community, increasing house prices. Undermines policies HO4 & HO5.

It is not considered that locating development within the settlements within Burley in Wharfedale, 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 Burley in Wharfedale 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.

We object to the rejection of sites BU/005 and BU/014 for housing allocations. We consider the sites should be allocated as part of a sustainable eastern extension to the Local Growth Centre of Burley in Wharfedale.
There are no known physical constraints that would prevent the development of these sites.

I would like to object to the building of homes on green belt land in Ilkley and Burley. These areas are already over populated and the continued damage to the environment is without question. Is Bradford council determined to spoil these areas when there are plenty of alternatives?

BU1/H With this development Burley-in-Wharfedale has now fulfilled the housing obligation in the Core Strategy apart from 10 homes.

We note that the housing requirement has reduced to 625 i.e. an increase in target from 700 to 750 homes. Why has Burley an extra allocation when many other urban areas have a fall?

BU2/H The additional homes here would mean that Burley exceeds its housing allocation. Other areas of the District have yet to fulfil 50% of their allocation, much of which is brownfield, the priority according to the Local Plan.
The opposition to the Scalebor development is well founded on the grounds of sustainability [Q118; NPPF s2:7-14]. There are no exceptional circumstances that could justify development on this site.

For both sites, residents are concerned about the viability of affordable/social housing.
