Respondent: Bradford Chamber of Commerce

No reference in the policy to “inclusive growth” or “green growth”. Should be front and centre, reflecting the aspirations of the BES.

Policy sets out the approach to sustainable development. Not clear why it is necessary to duplicate national policy.

SP1B/2: Chamber supports aim to “support the economic strength of the district by allocating sufficient land for employment uses”. Concerned the amount of employment land has reduced substantially from the RUDP and Core Strategy.

SP1B/4: Chamber supports the need to ensure a sufficient supply of good quality homes. Critical that the number, size and location reflects the varied nature of the population

SP1B/5: Critical that focus on brownfield land is not at the expense of providing/retaining good quality employment land, particularly where there are good transport connections.

Proposed Changes: amend to refer to inclusive and green growth; ensure the balance of jobs to homes will support the future economic growth of the city.

Respondent: Stephen Radcliffe

A. There is a disconnect between housing and infrastructure delivery. Bradford’s lack of a coherent transport strategy indicates that the Local Plan does not conform to NPPF sustainability policy [s2 7-14].

B. Ref B3 and 3.2.11: we agree this is an important issue but would question whether any progress will be made. Other authorities e.g. Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham have faced the same issue but put in place concrete plans to address them.

Ref B4 aligns with Bradford’s January 2019 declaration of a climate emergency and is a good policy statement but question whether Bradford’s actions meet this aspiration e.g in their attitude toward Leeds Bradford Airport which shows no consideration for Wharfedale residents.

Ref 5b; 1.2.9: we agree with the statements - but do not believe that in practice the allocation of brownfield and non-green belt land is being prioritised first.
