Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
AD3/H - Main Street / Addingham Bypass (East)
Representation ID: 17134
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Addingham Civic Society
1. The housing allocation has been increased from 75 (Partial Review of the Core Strategy 2019) to 175 in the latest Preferred Options proposal, representing an increase of 133%. There is no specific evidence offered for this increase, which is incompatible with Addingham’s status as a “Local Service Centre” and should be accommodated in less sensitive parts of Bradford’s area.
2. This proposed increase will result in the partial development of the “Sailor Fields” between the village and the A65 by-pass. It will destroy the linear nature of the village and the setting of its 129 listed buildings and monuments. It will also negatively impact the distinctive Dales landscape and bring new development into the South Pennine SAC/SPA Protection Zone. The Green Belt was established to protect the “Sailor Fields” and this important function was confirmed by the Planning Inspectorate and BMDC itself. No “exceptional circumstances” have been put forward for these Green Belt changes.
