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

Representation ID: 29050

Received: 29/03/2021

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

We would endorse:
- need for development within the three Principal Towns to ensure that their distinctive character is protected and enhanced.
- need for development within the Local Growth Centres to ensure that their distinctive character is retained. This requirement also needs to be reflected in the respective section of Policy SP3.
- need for development within the Local Service Centres and rural areas to ensure that their distinctive character is retained. This is especially important in places such as Haworth whose economic welfare relies on safeguarding those elements which contribute towards its distinctive identity.
Bradford has a rich legacy of heritage assets which can act as a catalyst for, and assist in, the regeneration of the City.
Subject to the change below, we support the emphasis placed on developing a strong sense of place which reinforces the distinct identity of the City through well designed public realm and buildings. This will assist in the delivery of the Vision and its related Strategic Objectives relating to making great places that encapsulate what makes Bradford so special.
