Stage 1b (April – May 2011) the sustainable physical capacity of the Corridor (particularly for new housing development of up to 5000 homes). the levels of demand it is reasonable to plan for in each of the target land uses in Shipley Town Centre and the wider Area (housing by type; B1, B2 and B8 uses; sui generis uses; local centre uses), taking into account, amongst other things, the job creation potential of the Area. the assets the evidence shows offer scope for development (which could include for tourism and things like the will and enthusiasm of local communities). the needs of local communities that exist or are anticipated in relation to meeting the reasons for a 5,000 housing requirement. the capacity of the infrastructure – energy, highways, schools, health, public space, recreation space etc, including the possible role of a restored canal. the market failures and other deterrents to private sector investment that must be corrected or overcome if the Area’s capacity for development is to be realisable and sustainable.

25. …a strategic development framework & design philosophy, which sets up a new place & urban ecosystem that is supported by high performance infrastructure.

26. Expanded settlements? Pro Consolidate existing neighbourhoods Build off existing infrastructure Draw on existing centres and service provision Con Lack of transformational impact Little integration – corridor remains as e-w barrier Increase pressure on local transport networks

27. New Town? Pro Scale of new development transforms image of area ‘Start from scratch’ - strong place making emphasis Brings land in corridor into productive long term use Con Need for local centre and public services - delivery & phasing? Inward looking – links to surrounding neighbourhoods? Impact on transport function of corridor?

28. Growth corridors? Pro New development bridges gap – connecting existing communities Suited to delivery in phases Bring environmental assets into communities Con Lack of transformational impact? Sufficient development scale to cross fund infrastructure investment?

29. A blend? No single right approach - use different tactics to address local context and specific conditions Balancing place making aspirations with market reality and deliverability Use scale of opportunity to transform the area and reinforce the best of what is there

30. The big ideas Delivering Bradford’s Renaissance and reinforcing the City Centre Taking advantage of physical capacity to generate a new place at the heart of the area Reshape Shipley Town Centre to broaden its market, maximise its potential and build on emerging strengths

31. A series of interventions Stepping down in scale to establish local change needed to deliver wider aspirations Breaking big ideas down into a series of interventions

32. Smart projects How interventions might be applied on the ground to build towards the bigger picture Shaped by emerging research but also using it to back new ideas for change Checking viability of ideas
