Banks Property broadly supports the objectives of Policy SP6. It is vital that investment is supported and encouraged to enable economic recovery; policies should aim to maximise Bradford’s potential for growth and to attract and retain economically active people. Policy SP6 defines priority business sectors and clusters that will be supported through the provision of appropriately located sites and premises by area, and identifies Health, Digital and Professional Services as priority sectors for Wharfedale. No employment allocations are included in Wharfedale however to achieve this. The Local Plan must ensure that employment land allocations are distributed across all areas of the District alongside housing allocations to achieve sustainable development. Site BU/015 Land off Burley Bypass provides a suitable option for new employment land in Wharfedale, located directly on the A65. Banks Property has submitted further information on Site BU/015 in response to the Council’s Site Assessment Update Report (Feb 2021).
