A significant proportion of the city centre sites carry risk and if relied upon Bradford may not be able to deliver the quantum of housing envisaged. Our summary assessment of these sites is set out below (Table 1 – Savills City Centre Housing Supply Site Assessment):
CC29/H - Heritage/ severe build cost implications given existing properties and CA. We note application 20/01221/MAF is pending consideration since being submitted in March 2020. There appear to be ongoing issues with HE objections and with BMDC highways. It is unclear if they are surmountable. Even in
the event of consent, we are concerned that the site can reach an appropriate benchmark land value.
