Representation Summary:

Support for including rejected site HA/013 in the Plan. (Masterplan document provided with the submission along with some further points outlined below).

An increase to the requirement and amendments to the distribution would allow housing to be provided in sustainable locations across Bradford, providing choice and flexibility. We suggest that Green Belt release should be considered in other settlements, particularly considering Bradford’s unique policy characteristics being heavily constrained by Green Belt. In order to retain flexibility over the plan period and to respond to potential housing land supply shortfalls over the plan period, we consider that there are Green Belt sites which should be considered that perform poorly against the five purposes of Green Belt. Sites should be considered for release where the green belt function is weak and that are in sustainable locations with access to transport and amenities.

Haworth is a sustainable location for housing growth with a good level of facilities and also has excellent accessibility by public transport to other destinations in West Yorkshire. There is currently limited potential for housing delivery in Haworth as there are few previously developed sites which could be used as windfall and the settlement is constrained by Green Belt. It is therefore clear that to meet the housing need in Haworth, new housing allocations are required. If development was purely focused on brownfield land in this settlement it could constrain growth and undermine the sustainable development aspirations outlined throughout the NPPF.
