Representation Summary:

I support the plans for the redevelopment of sites such as SH14/H - buildings within Shipley Town Centre. One of the issues with the town centre is the state of the higher levels of the buildings. If these can be redeveloped into apartments this would both help deliver housing and improve the look of the town centre itself. Another brownfield area which could be considered is shown in the area I have highlighted on the attached map of the SH14/H development. I may not have marked it correctly, but there are a number of disused shops or buildings (one of which appears to be owned by the Council) on the A657 (Saltaire Road). Some clever development here could not only provide housing, but could also open up another access to the bottom of Crowgill Park, a recreation area that is (in my opinion) currently under-used due to its isolated feel.
