Growth Area 9: Great Horton

Great Horton’s unique village atmosphere will be enhanced through residential development, improved community facilities and public realm upgrades along key routes and around the central area.

Great Horton will become a more coherent place by enhancing its spatial identity, making it a great place to live or visit. 

Its location on the A647 strategically links it to the Knowledge Quarter, providing synergies with Bradford’s wider growth ambitions.

 Vision 

• Development focussed on enhancing the village atmosphere of the area
• Smaller scale housing development on identified sites
• Public realm improvements on key routes in the centre to improve local economic activity and attractiveness of the local centre
• Gateways to the area will be well-defined
• Strengthen the village feel with planting and appropriate streetscape design
• Improvements to walking and cycling infrastructure in key locations
• Green corridors incorporating active travel connecting local green spaces

The proposed interventions as set out are indicative only. There is no funding commitment at this stage to deliver the vision. If the proposals are supported by stakeholders, a more detailed delivery plan would be considered as funding opportunities arise.
