Multi Million Plan for Carnation Site

A prominent ten-acre site could become a part of an "iconic gateway" into Bradford city centre under new plans for a multi-million pound development.

The Carnation car dealership, based at the junction of Manchester Road and Mill Lane, has unveiled plans to redevelop its headquarters and the adjacent land it owns.

The family-run company is looking to create an 80-bedroom hotel, conference facilities, offices and 300 new homes on the site.

The development’s signature piece would be a spectacular "kidney-shaped" building to grab the attention of people approaching the city centre along Manchester Road.

Carnation, founded by Mohammed Yaqoob 40 years ago, is consulting on the plans before submitting an outline planning application in August. The company stressed that it was a long-term proposal and added that it would be easy to relocate the car business when the time came.

Sofia Yaqoob, a director at Carnation and daughter of the founder, said:

"This scheme will enhance the area. We are Bradfordians and we think this is for the betterment of the city.

"It’s iconic design will create the first impression for people arriving in Bradford because it stares them right in the face.

"There are other sites abutting the Carnation site that we could relocate to."

Mike Osbourne, of consultants Arup, which is involved in the design of the project, said the scheme would further enhance the area following public sector investment nearby that had included the renovation of Douglas Mill by the Primary Care Trust and the opening of the police station.

Mr Osbourne said:

"This is a very significant site. The land is under one ownership, so we are bringing forward a scheme that’s deliverable.

"We are proposing, as part of the hotel and banqueting area, to create a highly-visible kidney-shaped building which will be very eye-catching. It will be a small to medium-sized conference facility.

"It will have an interesting shape and surface features and will become a recognisable landmark for Bradford."

The site, which was home to the bus depot and transport museum before Carnation moved in ten years ago, has been divided into five plots that will be developed in different phases during the project.

Plot A, which fronts on to Manchester Road, will comprise the hotel, leisure facilities and conference centre.

Plot B will be home to an office development, providing small, medium and large business units, while Plot C will contain homes and a healthcare building.

A multi-storey car park will be built on Plot D and the building’s basement will contain the development’s power supply. Solar panels will be placed on the roof and sides of the building.

Plot E, which backs on to the railway line, will contain the lion’s share of the residential properties, along with substantial green space.

Jonathan Wilson, director at Carey Jones Architects, which is leading the design process, said:

"We are planning to return the land to how it was before the railway came along because the lines used to run right across the site on different levels."
