Big Yes for Big Sheds in Bradford

Proposals for a major employment development in the City of Bradford were crystallised by the grant of planning permission on 19 February. The City Council signed off the 26,000sqm mixed employment scheme with a unanimous 'yes' vote following a 10-month application period.

The scheme makes provision for large-scale warehousing and industrial premises, together with smaller general industrial starter units and office accommodation west of the City at Thornton.

The development includes the provision of a new footway, street lighting, bus stops, public seating and a diverted public footpath.

MAZE Plannning has advised the scheme's promotor since November 2007 and will continue to provide support to enable an early start on site to be made, together with fellow consultants Pickles Architects, Bryan G Hall (transportation) and Morgan Associates (legals).
