Bradford launches consultation for regeneration strategy

Bradford Council has launched a consultation over a policy framework that will guide development in the district’s city and towns. The council is asking developers, businesses, landowners and the public for their views on development principles and specific regeneration sites in Bradford, Keighley, Ilkley, Shipley and Bingley. A first consultation, running until 21 December, focuses on perceptions of the local communities and their challenges and opportunities, with a second consultation in the spring looking at specific ideas and options. Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council portfolio holder for regeneration, planning and transport, said: “We’re really interested in people’s views on the important issues that surround local economic development and encourage everyone with a stake in the district’s future to take part. “The results of this consultation will then feed into the ideas and proposals being developed for the frameworks, which we will consult on next year.” The consultations can be found at: letstalk.bradford.gov.uk/development-framework-for-bradford letstalk.bradford.gov.uk/development-framework-for-keighley letstalk.bradford.gov.uk/development-framework-for-shipley To send feedback, e-mail tim.burke@eg.co.uk or tweet @_tim_burke or @EGPropertyNews Photo © Richard Saker/Shutterstock
