As advised in earlier updates and at the Community Conference, the Neighbourhood Plan Committee are putting together a Neighbourhood plan which will consider the type of housing Bramham needs, as well as other issues such as protected areas in the village, transport, and sustainability.

Part of the Neighbourhood Plan is identifying where future housing development could take place in the village. Leeds City Council has advised us that they have identified the sites shown below as potential housing development over the next 25 years. They have set us a deadline of 3rd October for submitting our views on the sites, ahead of putting together the Neighbourhood Plan. We have highlighted that this gives us very little time to consult with residents but the date is compulsory. We therefore need to gather your views in a very short timescale and thank you in advance for your co-operation in this regard. There is a map of the sites below.
The sites, and potential number of housing units are as follows:-

Site 1155 – Clifford Rd/Lyndon Rd – 269 units
Site 783 – The Woodyard – 18 units
Site 778 – Bramham House – 30 units
Site 3152 – Headley Hall – 9 units
Site 786 – Bramham Lodge – Already developed but part of Leeds City Council’s potential requirement.

Some other potential sites have been identified by residents and we would always welcome the community’s input into this. The plan is to identify where development could happen, but it may not happen for some years. However in the Neighbourhood Plan the community will have a greater say in the type and style of housing that is proposed. We need to know your views on these sites, and any suggested alternative sites.
Your input is very important to us, please let us know your views now rather than wait until decisions are made and it is too late to influence the future of developments here in Bramham.

You can give feedback using the online feedback form , or contact any member of the committee.

Neighbourhood Plan Committee Members are:-
Cllr Keith Innocent (Chair), Cllr Val Whitbread (secretary), Cllr Martin Batt,  Neil Ferres, Nick Lane Fox, John Whitbread, John Lynch, Dean Burdall (a very welcome new member).
