Respondent: Historic England

The site is located opposite the City Centre Conservation Area and close to Bradford Town Hall, a Grade I Listed Building. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets.
The principle of allocating this site, for the nature and scale of development set out in the APP, has been recently established as part of the Local Development Plan.
We would expect the Local Plan requirements for this site relating to the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment to, as a minimum, reflect those set out in the AAP. Consequently, we welcome that the
Development Considerations and Constraints & Opportunities identified for this site in the Draft Local Plan reflect those in the AAP.
However, if there have been any significant changes to the sites circumstances since its allocation in the AAP that we are not aware of, or the development proposed is significantly different (e.g. in terms of land use, density, scale, developable area etc.), the Council
should undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment of the site as part of the Evidence Base to the emerging Local Plan.
