CST supports the priorities set out in Policy SP2. In particular the emphasis on transforming the economic, environmental, physical and social conditions of the District, with a particular focus on the Regional City of Bradford and key regeneration areas including Keighley. Similarly, the emphasis on supporting, protecting and enhancing the roles of the Principal Towns of Ilkley, Keighley and Bingley is an important spatial priority.
The commentary at paragraph 3.3.7 of the preferred options document provides a helpful and supported statement on the role of principal towns in that they “fulfil a District wide significant role as service, employment and transport hubs for their surrounding areas.
