COUNCILLORS have agreed funding to help transform one of the most difficult to develop sites in Bradford into a new Enterprise Zone. The Bradford Council owned site off Parry Lane, the former HQ of Yorkshire Energy, has stood vacant for more than 15 years. It is thought that the high costs of developing the brownfield site have put off any developers from taking on the land. Recently the site, between Sticker Lane and Bowling Back Lane, was identified as one of several areas in West Yorkshire that would be earmarked as Enterprise Zones. West Yorkshire Combined Authority, made up of five local councils, would provide funding to help prepare the sites for future development - making them much more attractive to businesses.

Woodhall Road in Thornbury - one of the sites likely to be dropped from the housing allocations LEEDS council decision-makers look set to finally scrap long-term plans to allow building to take place on dozens of green belt sites in the district - including many on the Bradford border. The move, which will see councillors consider a proposal for 37 sites to be removed from Leeds’s Site Allocations Plan, follows a high court ruling earlier this year. Leeds Council now claims that, upon review, it has enough potential future housing sites so that the green belt areas previously earmarked for development no longer need to be built on.
