Topic : Special meeting for planning Applications in Silsden |
|
| Peter |
There will be a special meeting of Bradford council’s regulatory and appeals committee next week for planning applications for Silsden and Eastburn could be decided next week. The applications concern a supermarket off Keighley Road in Silsden (the Silvermantle Tesco site), 62 houses at Town Head in Silsden, and 31 houses off Main Road in Eastburn. All have been the subject of recent campaigns by residents who claim the new developments will put adverse pressure on existing infrastructures such as roads, schools or shops. Development company Silvermantle originally planned to build a Tesco supermarket on the site of the former Beck Mill, off Keighley Road. Despite Tesco pulling out of the project, Silvermantle are pressing ahead with the application for a 2,709 sq m supermarket with car park and petrol station. Councillors and townspeople are also objecting to plans to build 62 houses in the Town Head area of Silsden, on two fields off Bolton Road, on grounds such as access, road safety and pressure on local infrastructure. Eastburn residents fear that traffic from a planned development of 31 houses near Airedale Hospital will worsen congestion problems in Main Road. Bradford planners last year gave permission for 120 houses on a site alongside. Cllr Mallinson also highlighted impending changes to the section 106 system, which forces developers to pay cash to meet increased needs – such as roads, schools and community facilities – generated by their developments. Section 106 will this month be replaced by the Community Infrastructure Levy, but Cllr Mallinson fears the council is not ready to take advantage of this and could lose money.
