HLM support the inclusion of site NW9/H as a preferred allocation in the Draft Local Plan.

It is a much needed site in the Bradford NW sub area, which forms part of the Regional City of Bradford, a prime focus for development in the Local Plan.

The site is a deliverable and unconstrainted and capable of delivering housing in the short term to contribute towards the identified housing requirement.

The site is located in a sustainable location, close to existing services and facilities, as established in the sustainability appraisal scoring.

There are no known viability issues and both sites could deliver the full S106 requirements and other planning obligations in the Draft Local Plan.

There are no environmental constraints associated with the site that cannot be dealt with via appropriate design.

The development of NW9/H would form a logical small extension to the urban edge.

It is considered that the housing requirement in the District, coupled with the sustainable location of this site adjacent to the Bradford North West sub area provides the exceptional circumstances to justify the release of SW9/H from the Green Belt, which represents a small and logical extension to the NW urban area.
