Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021
Representation ID: 25159
Received: 23/03/2021
Respondent: Home Builders Federation
Previously developed land (PDL)
This part of the policy states that at least 50% of new homes will be on PDL, although the proportions may vary across the district.
The HBF supports the Council in making as much use as possible of previously developed land (PDL) in accordance with 2019 NPPF. However, the HBF considers that it is important to ensure that the prioritisation of PDL does not compromise the delivery of homes in sustainable locations to meet local needs. The HBF also considers it will be important to consider the future deliverability of intensely developed residential schemes, which will be dependent on the viability of PDL and demand for high density urban living post Covid-19.
