Whilst it is acknowledged that this is not an exhaustive list, it is disappointing that there is no reference made to
Bradford’s historic environment. The historic environment
makes a significant contribution to the distinctive character of Bradford District, to its economic well-being, and to the quality of life of its communities.
Amend accordingly.

We support the intention to take a masterplanning
approach to regeneration proposals for the southern
gateway area and elsewhere in the city and, where appropriate, would welcome involvement in these project
as they develop.

We advise that consideration should be given to further inclusion of references to environmental restoration at bullet point 7 of paragraph 1.2.8, and at bullet point 1 of paragraph 1.2.9, as follows:
Protection and restoration of 1 special protection area, 4 SSSIs, 4 local nature reserves, 108 local wildlife sites and 16 local geographical sites.
Protecting and restoring our environmental resources and requiring new development to leave biodiversity in a measurably better state than beforehand, contribute towards mitigating impacts in some of our most valuable landscape and habitat areas and minimise impact on heritage assets.
