Non Assessed Sites - new site - “Land North of Shann Lane, Keighley” has previously been submitted by CST.

It is noted from the February 2021 Call for Sites request that this exercise should only be used to provide information on any new site. This CST site is not on the rejected sites map and we have been unable to find it in the sustainability appraisal and green belt review assessments (appreciating that there is a large volume of information). The CST site is adjacent to site KY/112 which is a rejected site and lies in the Green Belt.

Given CST’s comments on the proposed level of housing growth for Keighley and the need for this to be increased, the Shann Lane site would also provide an opportunity to meet this need.

CST supports the priorities set out in Policy SP2, especially the emphasis on transforming the economic, environmental, physical and social conditions of the District, with a particular focus on the Regional City of Bradford and key regeneration areas including Keighley. Similarly, the emphasis on supporting, protecting and enhancing the roles of the Principle Towns of Ilkley, Keighley and Bingley is an important spatial priority.
Support of commentary at paragraph 3.3.7 as it provides a helpful and supported statement on the role of principle towns.

- Ilkley. Keighley and Bingley will be the main focus for housing, employment, shopping, leisure, education, health and cultural activities and facilities
- The roles of Ilkley, Keighley and Bingley as accessible and vibrant places to live , work and invest should be enhanced.

Housing Distribution - Keighley / Principal Towns

Policy SP8 - there is insufficient housing distributed to the Principle Towns and to Keighley within this group of settlements which fulfill a District wide significant role as service, employment and transport hubs for their surrounding areas. A very significant increase is not required but a level more in line with the baseline distribution for Principle Towns, including Keighley, would serve to deliver the plans spatial priorities, better reflect ands deliver the settlement hierarchy and thereby achieve sustainable development.
To support this position:
- a 6% increase for Regional City but a 22% reduction for Principle Towns and a $£% increase for local growth centres (baseline to preferred distribution)
- Policy SP2
- Policy SP3 ... Keighley to be main focus for housing...place to live
- By not fulfilling SP2/SP3 you are not meeting Policy SP1 on delivering sustainable development.
