Harworth and Nufarm are generally supports the principles set out in draft Policy TR6, however consider elements of this to be overly generic, reflecting principles that may not be applicable to Bradford district(for instance part B - we are not aware of any significant intermodal freight facilities (i.e. road/rail, road/waterway) existing in Bradford district.

We are not aware that any substantial freight is handled at Leeds Bradford Airport such that this would justify the location of major storage/distribution development on the basis of its proximity to the airport.

This policy wording is therefore at risk of encouraging storage/distribution development to be inappropriately located.

Accordingly, the draft Policy wording should be revised as follows:
‘Encourage the location of storage/distribution development with high levels of freight and commercial traffic close to intermodal freight facilities, airports, or roads designed and managed as traffic distributors and close to intermodal facilities where this is demonstrated to be appropriate to the use proposed.’
