Representation Summary:

Housing Need and Requirement

- concern over level of growth and not meeting full need including the 35% uplift int he latest Standard Method
- the plan should consider all options for meeting this need- including in other ways to deliver the uplift outside of the defined Bradford Urban Area
-it is logical that the 35% uplift is applied to the entire
local planning authority area.
-This could include a range of solutions such as new allocations and increased levels of delivery from the preferred allocations, providing any additional development can be accommodated in a sustainable manner.
- Bradford is one of only 20 areas in which the urban uplift applies, therefore, it is considered the Council should be taking opportunities to secure increased housing development and contribute towards tackling the national housing crisis
