Bradford District Local Plan - Publication Draft (Regulation 19) (October 2026)

POLICY BSE1: BRADFORD SOUTH EAST Comment

Settlement Plan

 Settlement Hierarchy and Spatial Directions

1. Bradford South East is defined on the Policies Map and forms part of the Regional City. It will support significant additional housing growth in sustainable locations and new employment opportunities, supported by existing local services and improved connectivity through improvements to infrastructure provision
2. Housing growth will be primarily focussed upon a large urban extension at Holme Wood together with a maximisation of previously redeveloped site opportunities to drive forward the regeneration of this area, together with further development opportunities in other urban fringe areas and new sites within the settlement boundary. A range of house types will be supported which will broaden the diversity, tenure and quality of housing in the area and provide new opportunities for access to the countryside.
3. Employment opportunities will be supported through the delivery of a strategic employment allocation of 40ha^[1] to the south of Nufarm alongside a series of medium sized employment allocations totalling over 26ha of new employment land. This in turn will be supported by a significant coverage of Employment Zones (Policy EC2) in the SE safeguarding existing employment floorspace meaning local businesses will continue to be supported including those specialising in advanced manufacturing, engineering and technology together with those specialising in logistics.

Meeting Growth Needs

4. Housing development in the Bradford South East will deliver approximately 2,934 dwellings through a combination of sites within the urban area and land released from the Green Belt from sites under construction, with planning permission and new site allocations during the plan period, as set out in Table BSE 1.1

Table BSE1.1 – Bradford South East

5.  Deliver housing site allocations as shown on the Policies Map and the site proformas within section 5. Proposals for new homes within the settlement boundary on additional small sites outside of the town centre, including the redevelopment of previously developed land, will also be supported subject to meeting policies HO3 and DS3.
6. Proposals for new homes on the settlement boundary will be subject to meeting in particular policies DS1, DS2 and NE7 and those within the urban area subject to policies DS3 TO DS5 together with housing policies HO2 to HO4. The Council will work with developers to secure quality housing schemes which take in the needs of the area and the communities being served

Holme Wood:

7. Holme Wood has been identified as an area for wide-ranging economic, social, community and housing renewal for many years and is a key a Regeneration Area (RA12: Holme Wood) in the SE and an area of strategic release for housing and employment growth through allocations H911, H1554 and E57.
8. Regeneration Area – (RA1: Holme Wood) The Local Plan will allocate a series of housing sites in the Holme Wood RA and through these allocations aim to deliver over 600 new homes. This combined with the strategic growth will deliver significant market investment into the area stimulating and supporting the renewal and transformation of the existing housing stock. To maximize the impact of this growth, social housing providers should aim to align their asset management strategies with these new development opportunities. This coordinated approach ensures that new housing delivery runs parallel with targeted regeneration and estate investment.
9. The defined Local Centre remains a key feature of Holme Wood but there is a need to tackle commercial vacancy levels and environmental improvements to support its use and overall viability. Community uses will continue to be supported in the Local Centre. Opportunities to support service delivery and secure the longer term viability of the Local Centre through regeneration and limited redevelopment will be supported where they maintain the core function of the Local Centre.
10. The levels of growth proposed through the Local Plan alongside the existing community need to have access to key employment areas through improved public transport connections, in the short to medium term this will be through key bus routes and longer term exploring the potential connections to Mass Transit routes to the north of the RA. These will also need to sit alongside the development of strategic greenways and cycle-ways that better integrate the Holme Wood area to the eastern conurbations of Leeds and ensure that the area is well connected to key employment areas in South Bradford.
11. Strategic Growth (H1554/H911/E57) - The three allocations are shown on the Policies Map, when taken together they will deliver approximately 1240 dwellings and 9ha of new employment land over the plan period. The three site allocations are all accessed off Westgate Hill Street (A650), alongside Tong Leadership Academy and existing businesses and residential properties to the north and south of the road. Therefore, any cumulative issues such as highways access, transport, landscape, infrastructure and other policy requirements must be considered across all three sites either through a comprehensive masterplan or individual masterplan’s that demonstrate how these issues have been addressed. In particular the development should respond positively to the prominent location through high-quality design, layout and structural landscaping to minimise impact on the landscape in the immediate and wider Tong Valley Rolling Enclosed Pasture landscape character area.

Local Services and Facilities

12. The Council will take a positive approach to retail growth and the vitality of the designated District and Local Centres, as defined on the Policies Map, through enhancing their diverse range of retail, service and leisure uses, and supporting the retention and improvement of other local services and facilities.
13. Protect and enhance existing open spaces and green and blue infrastructure to support the delivery of the opportunities identified in the GBI Focus Area A (Bradford Inner City) together with new accessible multifunctional open spaces and active routes for walking and cycling. These will help to create a network of green corridors to connect habitats and improve ecology both within the Bradford South East area and wider corridors beyond.

Landscape

14. The landscape to the immediate SE of the city centre is predominately urban in form, moving to the east is the Tong Valley Rolling Enclosed Pasture landscape character area and to the south the South Bradford Settled Valley character area. It is important to maintain and enhance these landscapes as they are important features between the larger built-up areas both within and outside of Bradford.

Historic and Natural Environment

15. Protect and enhance the designated Local Wildlife sites as well as habitat networks and priority habitats within and adjacent to the settlement.
16. Ensure that future development conserves and enhances key heritage assets and their settings within and adjacent to the settlement including the four Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings as well as non-designated heritage assets.

Local Infrastructure

17. The implementation of the West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan and the Bradford District Transport Strategy will secure a high-quality public transport network for the city, along with a comprehensive and attractive network for walking, wheeling and cycling, to improve the environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
18. Mass Transit, expected to principally take the form of a street-running tram, will provide local opportunities for growth and densification where it’s stops are located in the SE running through to Bradford City Centre and Leeds in the other direction.
19. New build development projects, in close proximity to the city centre, should support and where possible connect to available city centre energy networks or be 'connection ready' to take advantage of any future phases or extensions of the existing network or new networks. This will support the opportunities for existing buildings to utilise both the existing and future phases of the network through market delivery (Policy CR3).
20. Contributions towards improvements in community infrastructure, including consideration of additional education, healthcare and recreation provision as a result of an increased residential population.

Site Specific Requirements

Design Principles

1. Land at Westgate Hill, Holme Wood as identified on the Policies Map is allocated for a Strategic Housing Site to deliver a minimum 1011 dwellings over the plan period.
2. The site is adjacent to Housing Site H1554 and Employment Site E57, with all three to be accessed of Westgate Hill Street, alongside existing access points for other uses in the area. Whilst individual access points maybe technically achievable to facilitate the levels of growth on site as demonstrated through a Transport Assessment, proposals should facilitate access into the employment site and housing sites through shared access points wherever possible.
3. Any planning application should include an illustrative masterplan and phasing schedule with supporting parameter plans to allow for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to development, which demonstrates how the parameters and the quantum of development being applied for can be effectively accommodated on the site.
4. Parameter Plans set out the design parameters for future reserved matters stages to adhere to, and should include:
   1. Land uses and layout
   2. Landscape, green infrastructure and open spaces
   3. Ecology and habitat framework
   4. Movement framework/ access/connections (including to adjacent sites)
   5. Heritage features and character areas

Development along the ridge line and the northern part of the site will need to be more sensitively designed due to the undulating landform to maintain the presence of Kit Wood Beck and open views to the north in line with Policy DS2. This should include affordable housing (in line with Policy HO4) and an appropriate mix of dwellings (in line with Policy HO3 and having due regard to relevant housing needs evidence and the character of the area).
6. The site should be developed for a range of house types and tenures to meet the needs of the local community and provide any new community facilities required as determined by officers at the time of application.

Site Access, Highways and Transport

7. The site access would be taken from Westgate Hill Street (A650). Provision should be made for a principal access point from the existing roundabout through the creation of a 5-arm roundabout serving both the residential and employment uses (E57), a secondary point of access to the west of Booth Holme Close will be for residential development only.
8. A Transport Assessment and Travel Plan will be required in accordance with Policy TR2.
9. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle infrastructure within the site and with connections to the wider network. Footways on the roads within the site to meet requirements of Inclusive Mobility and cycling provision on internal roads to meet LTN1/20 requirements with measures undertaken to ensure connectivity through the site and upgrades to existing paths connecting the development to established cycling and walking networks, including traffic free routes.
10. A plan for servicing the site by bus will need to be agreed with Bradford Council and WYCA. Consideration will need to be given to a new bus service to the development serving appropriate local destinations, or to enhancing and diverting the existing services. The route through the site will need to serve the local centre and the adjoining housing (H1554) and employment site (E57) with appropriately located bus stops.

Flooding, Water and Drainage

11. A nominal flood risk site assessment has been prepared the following are key recommendations that any site specific flood risk assessment should address:
12. Development should be possible at this site given the low fluvial and very low surface water flood risk to the site.
13. The site is not modelled to be at significant additional fluvial or surface water risk as a result of climate change.
14. This is subject to additional modelling to understand the fluvial risk posed by the existing drainage ditches through the centre and south of the site. The drainage ditches should be kept in place and remain unobstructed. The ditches should be maintained and included within the landscaping design of the residential development.
15. Groundwater conditions should be considered further as part of a site-specific FRA.
16. To address surface water flooding along the northern site boundary and flooding arising from fluvial sources and run off from new development there is a need to deliver a comprehensive sustainable urban drainage system which forms an integral part of the site design, landscaping and open space features.

Natural and Historic Environment

17. The site is partly within a bat alert area. An Ecology survey may be required at the planning application stage. Early engagement with the Council's Biodiversity Officer is recommended.
18. Biodiversity Net Gain requirements are set out in Policy NE5 with strategic scale sites encouraged to exceed the statutory minimum requirement.
19. The design of the site should provide green linkages throughout the site with grass and wildflower planting alonsgide improved hedgerow planting to encourage wildlife. These should where possible be in the public areas of the site such as alongside wide fooptaths.
20. The site lies close to the site of a registered battlefield (Battle of Adwalton Moor 1643) in addition to listed buildings including Grade II Ryecroft Hall. An assessment will be required to determine what contribution the development of the site will have on those elements which contribute to the signficance of the heritage assets. If harm is noted then mitigation will be required.

Environmental Protection

21. Site is within 150m buffer of a former landfill site. A Land Contamination Assessment – Phase 1 Report will be required as part of any planning application.
22. Part of the upper and central part of the site falls within a Development High Risk Area for coal mining, indicating that it contains one or more recorded former related features at surface or shallow depth. A Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA) will be required as part of any planning application.

24. The site is crossed from east to west by a consultation zone for a high-pressure gas pipeline (7669- Northern Gas Networks Inner, middle & outer zones). Design and layout of any development should ensure that appropriate clearances are taken into consideration. Consultation should take place with the Health and Safety Executive, National Gas and Northern Gas Networks, as appropriate.

Open Space and Green / Blue Infrastructure

25. On site open space should be provided in line with Policy NE2, having regard to the standards set out in Appendix 11.
26. Site falls within a strategic green infrastructure corridor. Development of the site should ensure connectivity through the site to adjacent open spaces and the wider countryside to ensure linkages for walking, cycling and active sport together with on site open space provision including play space.

Landscape

27. The site is located within the South Bradford Settled Valley Floor Landscape Character area/type (F3).
28. Woodland is characteristic of the area and would help screen development and integrate it into the wider landscape. This should be linked to exiting woodland to the north east. The northern part of the site should be designed sensitively due to the more intricate landform, the presence of Kit Wood Beck and the openness of this area in views from the north.

Other Constraints

29. The site is crossed by a high voltage electricity transmission line. Development should include a strategy for responding to the National Grid Overhead Cable Route present within the site which demonstrates how the National Grid Design Guide and Principles have been as part of the design and layout and how the impact of the assets has been reduced through good design.
30. A high pressure gas pipeline adjoins the site. Design and layout of any development should ensure that appropriate clearances are taken into consideration.
