The re generation of the area is well overdue providing a range of tenures close to the city centre and retail offerings and provides a catalyst for further housing growth, namely re purposing of other buildings not identified in this plan. Infrastructure is in place from previous uses, utilising will maximise use of scarce resources. The high point feature whilst not currently asthetically pleasing, could provide a focus point incorporating enhancements to the broadband and digital connectivity of the area.
However further highways issues need addressing within the LEZ and improvements to connectivity electric or hybrid bus, pedestrian and cycle access to Forster Square station. Alternative fuel technology and localised heat networks might be possible.

Bradford City Centre is located approximately 2 miles from the SRN, namely M606 Junction 3.
In broad terms, locating development within the various areas / quarters within the City Centre is the most appropriate location to locate development as it is the most sustainable location in terms of proximity to transport hubs and networks.
Furthermore, on their own, it is not considered that individual sites will have a severe impact on the capacity, operation and safety of the SRN, and this will be identified through the transport evidence base being prepared by the Council / the individual assessment of
the transport implications of the sites by the sites’ promoters.
However, the quantum of sites forms part of a wider cumulative impact within the City Centre area that could severely impact the SRN, and this cumulative impact will need to be established by the Council and considered by Highways England.
