Bradford on Avon CommunityArea strategy
Future development in Bradford on Avon should be on a modest scale and should deliver additional employment, thereby helping to improve the self-containment of the town. Development will need to meet high standards of sustainable design and should incorporate renewable energy provision. Housing development in Bradford on Avon should be phased for delivery towards the end of the plan period (2016-2026), and development should be employment led wherever possible.
Wiltshire LocalDevelopmentFramework
Specific issues in Bradford on Avon:• The town currently has a high level of out-commuting.• Further loss of employment land should be strongly resisted.• The overall retail offer serves only basic local needs.• High traffic volumes and congestion in the town centre.• The town has aspirations to become ‘carbon neutral’ by 2050.• High level of need for affordable housing in the town.• Development should be planned so as to conserve and enhance the high quality built and natural environment.• An ‘area of opportunity’ in Holt will be protected as it continues to offer a suitable location for mixed use development, such as light industrial, workshops, offices and residential uses.
