Plans submitted for £150m urban village

Urbo’s ambitious £150 million scheme to create up to 1000 new homes in Bradford is one step closer to becoming a reality following submission of two planning applications.

Covering more than 30 hectares of land, the New Bolton Woods scheme not only comprises high quality new residential properties but also a new local centre comprising local shopping facilities anchored by a food store together with a new primary school and medical centre.

The submission of part full / part outline planning applications for the New Bolton Woods development is the culmination of two years of extensive urban design work and public consultation carried out by Canal Road Urban Village Ltd (CRUVL), a joint venture partnership created by regeneration specialists Urbo and Bradford Metropolitan District Council.  Urbo has worked closely with leading designers Urbed to produce an innovative masterplan for New Bolton Woods.

Manchester based HOW Planning advised throughout and submitted both the outline planning application for the masterplan and a full application for the food store on behalf of the partnership. Harris Partnership designed the retail scheme.

Peter Swallow, a Director of Urbo and Canal Road Urban Village Ltd said: “New Bolton Woods is a comprehensive new mixed-use neighbourhood. Our aim will be to work with a number of house-builder partners to bring forward our project over the coming years.

Phase 1 of the New Bolton Woods development began last year when lead developer Urbo Regeneration and partner Skipton Properties created 50 new homes. These are already nearly all sold and the second phase to include the local shopping facilities is eagerly anticipated.

If planning permission is granted for Phase 2 then work to create the exciting new sustainable ‘urban village’ will begin in spring 2015.  

Jon Suckley, Partner at HOW Planning added:  “This is another hugely exciting development being brought forward by Urbo Regeneration and a fantastic prospect for Bradford. It will create a thriving new district for the city.”  

Plans for the development went to a final public consultation in June 2014 and were met with overwhelming support to provide the investment in new houses, shops and other facilities expected in a thriving place

With Bradford's economy forecast to grow to more than £9 billion by 2016, making the district the third largest in Yorkshire and Humber, the New Bolton Woods development will be an important contributor in providing new homes for employees of major companies choosing to invest in the city.
