Bradford's draft Local Plan identifies 29 sites in Keighley for over 2,240 new homes by 2043.

Bradford's draft Local Plan proposes over 2,240 new homes across 29 sites in Keighley by 2043. The plan identifies Keighley as one of the district's large towns and aims to transform its economic, environmental, physical and social conditions to support long-term regeneration. Development sites include a town centre location previously earmarked for business units and a former school.

The plan sets out potential sites for housing, employment development and key transport links. Across the entire Bradford district, sites that could deliver 33,670 homes in the next 17 years have been identified. The Local Plan aims to deliver a sustainable and diverse town centre with excellent public transport connectivity while supporting businesses to grow.

The draft plan goes before Bradford Council's Executive on Thursday. A Local Plan is a blueprint for development but does not guarantee that planning applications for individual sites will automatically be approved. Without such a plan, councils find it harder to refuse planning applications.
