This Study has been commissioned by Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC) and Arnold Laver and Company Limited (Arnold Laver) to consider the future of the Canal Road Corridor. This Study has been undertaken by Drivers Jonas, AGD Regeneration, Taylor Young and ARUP (the Study Team).
Legal advice regarding the delivery of the masterplan strategy. The purpose of this Masterplan Report is to present a strategy and vision for the future development of the Canal Road area, including a flexible action plan for delivering the vision. Plans to reinstate the Bradford arm of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal (Bradford Canal) which will pass through the masterplan area from the north at Shipley, to the City Centre to the south, have significant implications for the Canal Road Corridor.
The Canal Road Corridor is likely to see a change in its function, role and character if the canal is re-introduced. This masterplan therefore aims to manage this change within the corridor to achieve a integration between the re-instatement of the Canal, and the impact that this will have on its wider environs, as embodied within the Canal Feasibility Study and other associated technical studies.
Prior to the production of this Masterplan a Baseline Report was completed which has enabled the Study Team to familiarise themselves with the Canal Road Corridor and existing issues. This Masterplan Report includes a summary of the findings from the Baseline Report and the subsequent Masterplan options that have emerged.
