03 Further Engagement Draft (October 2011)
This consultation stage is now closed.
Consultation on the Further Engagement Draft took place between Friday 28 October 2011 and Wednesday 29 February 2012 (extended deadline). Consultation materials and details can still be found below for information purposes only.
The Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) is a key planning document within the LDF which concerns all residents, businesses and interested parties within Bradford District as it:
- Sets out a long-term spatial vision for the District until 2028
- Identifies broad locations for development over the next 15 years
- Sets out policies that will influence the use of land and the type and scale of development which will be permitted within the District
- Identifies infrastructure required to manage development.
Background to the Core Strategy DPD:
The Council last consulted on the Core Strategy - Further Issues and Options in 2008. At this stage, 4 spatial options were presented for the location of housing and economic development over the plan period. The Council received over 400 comments to these options and these have taken these into consideration along with further evidence to support the preparation of the Further Engagement Draft document.
Since 2008, changes to Government legislation and uncertainly over regional planning have held up the LDF, but this situation has allowed us to reassess and update our evidence base. This has been invaluable in moving to this next stage in the plan making process to ensure our plan is both sound and robust.
Further Engagement Draft - Consultation
This consultation presents the Councils further engagement draft of the Core Strategy which sets out the proposed preferred approach for addressing the issues within the District where planning can make a real difference to the lives of communities. This plan can influence housing, employment, community facilities and infrastructure developments, as well as how we use, protect and conserve our natural environment and built heritage.
The Council's Executive Committee gave approval for a 12 week consultation period at the meeting on Friday 14th October 2011.
Video Production
The Council commissioned a short video production to raise awareness of the Core Strategy consultation and some of the key planning issues facing the Bradford District. The production will run for approximately 20 minutes.
