Plans for a ten acre Park at the Heart of Bradford have received detailed planning permission by city’s Council.

The newly approved plans to develop a £30m world-class City Park, designed by Gillespies, features a unique mirror pool positioned beside the Grade-I listed City Hall. The pool will sit in the heart of the park and will hold upcoming majorpublic events and concerts, as well as featuring children’s play areas, quiet spaces and bars, cafes and restaurants.

The decision comes as the Big Lottery Fund prepares to announce its final shortlist of the cities competing for a Living Landmarks grant. Bradford is bidding for £24.5m towards the cost of the scheme and is competing with 22 other cities across the UK.

Councillor Andrew Mallinson, Head of the District’s Regeneration, says: “Receiving planning permission means we now have a detailed plan in place ahead of hopefully gaining funding from the Lottery. The park will truly set Bradford apart from other cities attracting investors and tourists into the city, making it a leading destination of the future.”

Following the announcement of the final shortlist the chosen schemes will receive a visit from a delegation of the Lottery judges, before travelling to London to present plans to the full judging panel. A final decision about which schemes will be awarded funding will be made in November.
