Respondent: Harworth Group & Nufarm UK Ltd

Agent: Johnson Mowat

Harworth and Nufarm support the aim stated at part A/1 of draft Policy SP6 for Bradford to be ‘the UK’s fastest growing economy getting more people into work and improving skills’. However, they have concerns that this aim is not matched / achieved, by the strategy of land allocation for employment development.

Part A/1d of draft Policy SP6 should be revised as follows:
‘Our globally connected district – making best use of and improving our transport infrastructure and digital connectivity to strengthen our global trading links and access new markets’.

Re B/2 of the policy - 72ha of land is inadequate provision to meet the stated aims to support business expansion, retain local jobs and attract new investment.

In order to ensure a correct range of sites / locations the following words should be added ti the policy:
‘For modern manufacturing and distribution, sites able to deliver large format development will be allocated in locations close to the motorway network, primarily in Bradford South’.
