I fully support the use of brownfield sites for redevelopment in Shipley and believe a mixed use site here is entirely appropriately. This area of Shipley desperately needs to be regenerated.

This site would be better used in for green space and community regeneration projects. We don't want a 'buildings here'-'green over there' approach where the green space is good on average; we want distributed green spaces so that all living spaces are within easy reach of green spaces.

This is an area that needs developing, the buildings are very run down. However, the walls facing the canal are a nesting site for sand martins. Any development would need to mitigate this by providing 'alternative accommodation' for the birds.

I support the use of previously developed land for housing where the it will not have a negative impact on the environment and where existing infrastructure can accommodate it.

Brownfield site
Neglected and in need of redevelopment
Would help with the view of Shipley people get when coming in on the train and may even provide amenities for travellers.
One downside is an increase in air pollution and traffic volume on Briggate.

While the area needs redevelopment, don't think it is suitable for housing, being so close to a major traffic junction with air pollution issues.

Brownfield. Canal side housing would be fantastic.

We understand that the existing site is vacant.
The site is supported above the Leeds & Liverpool Canal via a tall retaining wall. There is a risk that loading from new development could result in damage to this structure, which could result in land instability next to the waterway. To ensure that the Local Plan complies with the aims of paragraph 170 and 178 from the National Planning Policy Framework with regards to stability, we advise that this constraint should be identified in the Local Plan. We also advise that the development considerations should include the need for contextual information to demonstrate that the development will not result in land instability. Suggested text is provided below:
“Development will need to demonstrate that the retaining wall next to the Leeds and Liverpool canal can accommodate the loading from new development, and will not result in land instability”
At application stage, we advise that a survey of the wall by appropriately qualified person(s) may be required to fully ascertain that the final design can be supported by the retaining structure.
The rear of the site is very visible from the canal, and there is a risk that bin stores and other services located to the rear could detract form the character and appearance of the canal. To mitigate against this risk, we advise that the development considerations should include reference to the need to ensure that any service areas and bin stores are adequately screened from the canal.

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY - Close to canal.
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).

If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.

For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.

For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.

It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.

Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.

Respondent: Historic England

The site is within the Saltaire World Heritage Site (WHS) buffer zone and adjacent to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Conservation Area. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of these designated heritage assets. The site is currently allocated for development within the Bradford City Centre Area Action Plan (AAP), adopted in December 2017. The
principle of allocating this site, for the nature and scale of
development set out in the APP, has therefore been ecently established as part of the Local Development Plan for Bradford District.
In order to safeguard these heritage assets, we would expect the Local Plan requirements for this site relating to the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment to, as a minimum, reflect those set out in the AAP. Consequently, we welcome that the Development Considerations and Constraints & Opportunities identified for this site in the Draft Local Plan reflect those in the AAP.
