Further Bradford City Village details released
New images and details of Bradford's City Village development have been released. The vast regeneration project will create about 1,000 new homes, with the bulk on the Oastler Market and Kirkgate Shopping Centre sites. Work is set to begin in autumn with the demolition of Oastler Market, with construction of the homes due to start in the spring. A fresh public consultation on the plans has been launched, with Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin calling the scheme a "game-changer" for the area. Plans show 64 two and three-bedroom townhouses will be built on the northern Oastler site. The first phase will also include 33 townhouses around Chain Street, with later phases including more than 300 apartments on the southern half of the Oastler site. Approximately 400 apartments are set to be built on the Kirkgate Shopping Centre site, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. The project has £13.2m of in-principle funding from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority alongside £30m of government funding via Homes England. Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Bradford Council leader, said: "City Village shows the direction of the city centre for the next 10 years – quality housing, more public green spaces and a shift away from an over-reliance on traditional retail. "Our vision is to create a healthy, sustainable and community-friendly neighbourhood." Simon Dew, development director, said: "Bradford is investing at an unprecedented level in its transport and public infrastructure, as well as major capital developments, to drive future success and realise its full economic potential." Residents have been asked for their views on the plans ahead of the submission of a planning application for phase one, with the consultation running until 18 June.
