Save Lea Bank

This petition was published by Simon Barratt on Nov 18, 2009

To: City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council
Reference Application Number: 09/04860/FUL

We the undersigned wish to lodge our objections to the proposed demolition of ‘Lea Bank’ and the construction of 1 bungalow, 1 pair of semi-detached houses and 8 townhouses on the following grounds:

* Increase in vehicular traffic in Canal Road, Newark Road, Chapel Grove, Chapel Road and Sleningford Road which already have a problem with parking and congestion, making it dangerous for the elderly living in the sheltered houses complex to cross Canal Road to the shops..

* Sleningford Road is used by visitors to the Bowling Club and Bingley 5 Rise Locks and walk round the field. The increase in traffic will exacerbate the difficulty caused by already congested roads and parking problems. This gives concern over road safety for children playing outside, school children going to Bingley Grammar School and pedestrians going to the canal bank and field.

* ‘Lea Bank’ is an attractive stone Victorian house which creates an agreeable vista from all angles and forms the background to the Canal Conservation Zone.

* The proposed development is architecturally and environmentally out of keeping with the area and will affect the outlook and sense of space.
