Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 29044

Received: 29/03/2021

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

The historic environment makes a significant contribution to the distinctive character of Bradford District, to its economic well-being, and to the quality of life of its communities. It is essential, therefore, that the Plan sets out a robust framework for how this resource will be manage, how potential threats to those assets might be addressed, and how Bradford’s historic buildings and areas might be used more positively to help deliver the wider objectives for the Local Plan area.

Consequently, we support the proposed Spatial Vision for the Bradford District in 2038, particularly the intention that:
- The District’s unique landscapes, heritage and biodiversity assets will play a vital role in making great places that encapsulate what makes Bradford so special; and
- The economic transformation of the District will be achieved based on Bradford’s key strengths, including its rich historic and cultural identity and wealth of environmental assets.
