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

Representation ID: 4740

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: SHMS

Representation Summary:

From the explanation seems reasonable, although 8 years addition to the Core Strategy. Will I consider help businesses to forecast. However the council needs to ensure agents and developers do not cherry pick the most lucrative and easy sites in green belt, greenfield before pdl/brownfield.
Identifing sites that should be developed late in the plan period leaves the council open to challenge due to the back stop of lack of a five year supply. PDL in Bfd and Keighley should be prioritised for development first to support the retail offerings.
