It would be great to see this developed alongside the Shipley Market Square and Indoor Market. This area somehow feels disjointed from the central market and needs careful thinking about how to encourage foot traffic to this area. Mixed use with housing certainly makes sense.

This is a formerly developed site, now largely derelict. Redeveloping it for housing stock would put it back to use, provide the accommodation that is required and would improve the visual amenity at the gateway to Shipley.

Shipley town centre needs a revamp to encourage more people to use the shops and local businesses.

SH17/H – Shipley Gateway (50)

I don’t object to this site being redeveloped but there is no mention of parking so I would be interested to know where all the cars that currently park here are going to park in future.

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.

The site is within the Saltaire World Heritage Site (WHS) buffer zone. The development of this area could harm elements which contribute to the significance of the World Heritage Site. 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
