Introducing City Village

Bradford Council, in partnership with ECF (formerly the English Cities Fund), is bringing forward plans to unlock the potential of what was the former retail and trading heart of Bradford city centre.

City Village will involve the delivery of up to 1,000 homes in the ‘Top of Town’ and Darley Street areas.

We first shared our early-stage ideas during a phase of visioning engagement with the local community and businesses in Winter 2022/23. We carefully considered the feedback received to help inform the evolving masterplan, which we provided an update on in Summer 2024. Since then, we continued to refine the plans before undertaking another phase of engagement earlier this year on our detailed plans for Phase 1.

We have now submitted a hybrid planning application on our plans and demolition activity is due to commence in the new year. To read more about this, please click here.
