A - Development Investment Fund (DIF)

Value

£7m

Purpose

The limited availability of good quality serviced sites and premises is a key constraint upon local economic growth in Shipley. In addition, the increasing lack of affordable housing available particularly in the town centre area is proving a constraint on inclusive local economic growth.

Objectives

• Provision of new industrial floorspace to support growth in key sectors
• Bring forward industrial development projects that would not otherwise be viable and have consequently stalled
• Bring forward residential development/refurbishment projects in or close to the town centre
• Contribute to local economic growth (for example, jobs and investment) or provision of affordable homes
• Promote and embrace net zero carbon objectives
• Contribution to quality living space, affordable to local people
