Bradford Council has produced a Development Framework for the city of Bradford.


The Development Framework guides the future development of the city of Bradford.

The Development Framework sets out an overarching vision, objectives and potential interventions for the regeneration of Bradford looking at the next 15-20 years. The vision, objectives and potential interventions have been shaped by local stakeholders’ views.

As a component of Bradford's Economic Growth Plan, the role of the Development Framework is to act as a guide for development within Bradford, as well as encourage and attract new investment into the area. It provides clear principles which promote social, economic and environmental benefits which are informed by Bradford's local context and are underpinned by the strategic and policy context both nationally and locally.

The Development Framework is split into 12 Growth Areas, which include further detail on the potential interventions and opportunities.

The potential interventions as set out within the Development Framework are indicative only and are set out to inspire private and public investment into Bradford. There is no additional funding to deliver the vision. More detailed delivery plans will be considered as funding opportunities arise. You can find out about our current projects at Invest in Bradford.

Alongside the Development Framework for Bradford, we have also produced frameworks to cover Keighley, Shipley and Bingley.
