Evidence, data and monitoring
Employment Needs and Analysis
The Council commissioned consultants Peter Brett Associates to produce an Employment Needs Assessment (ENA) for Bradford in 2019. The purpose was to inform the Council's preparation of policies to support the economy and to help identify employment site allocations.
Since that time there have been important changes in the economic environment and further work has been undertaken as part of the new Local Plan. A Future Employment Analysis Paper was commissioned to provide supplementary evidence to the ENA with a focus on potential future employment. The work was undertaken in December 2020 to February 2021. Both reports are available below
