I fully support the regeneration of Shipley Town Center. In particular, I would like to see some green infrastructure in the town center and a place for the community to convene. I think the Market Square would benefit from new retail and leisure premises as well as flats.

Putting housing on the market square would completely destroy the character of Shipley town centre.

It is precisely the open-air design of the market that makes it the heart of the town. This particular suggested development cannot go ahead.

I support this proposal as mixed-use development in the Market Square would be welcomed as the area is in need of significant investment in order to ensure it remains feasible as the centre of the town.

The Market square is in sore need of renewal and redevelopment.
Some dwellings in the area would help with the general emptiness and eeriness at night and bring some life into the centre of Shipley
Parking might be an issue depending on the types of development.
This is brownfield
Will not impact on wildlife and nature
may improve the viability of businesses in Shipley itself

As with Market Hall, support investment in Market Square but would prefer this to reflect mixed, community use and public realm improvements which would make it a more pleasant space to be both during the day and at night. Again, think this is preferable to housing in this area.

Whilst it is not a beautiful market square, it is a valuable area for the market traders, and for residents to Shipley to meet (well, when we can, outside of Covid lockdowns!!!), and shop.
It also provides a central focal point for residents.
Not a good idea to loose this market square.

Market Square needs a facelift to encourage more into Shipley centre, meaning a greater footfall for the shops and local businesses.

Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
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 Manor Lane Wesleyan Reformed Church, a Grade II Listed Building. 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 recently 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. However, if there have been any significant changes to the sites
circumstances since its allocation in the AAP that we are not aware of, or the development proposed is significantly different (e.g. in terms of land use, density, scale, developable area etc.), the Council should undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment of the site as part of the Evidence Base to the emerging Local Plan.
