Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
SW21/H - Thornton Road, Leaventhorpe
Representation ID: 29279
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Environment Agency
Sites that are adjacent to or include rivers and becks within their boundary must make full consideration of the value of these features for biodiversity and green-blue infrastructure, as well as the wildlife habitat network.
The existing biodiversity and green-blue infrastructure along these rivers/becks must be protected, and opportunity should be taken to enhance this Green-Blue Infrastructure including habitat enhancement to achieve 10% net gain in the riverine element of BNG.
As stated previously in relation to the policies, it is particularly important to recognise that rivers and becks cannot be replaced elsewhere, and that continuity of habitat along them is essential to maintaining and improving their ecological condition, and in maximising their contribution to green networks. These sites include (this is not a comprehensive list of all sites with rivers and becks):
o SW21/H Thornton Road, Leaventhorpe: Pitty Beck.
