Core Strategy DPD

04 Publication Draft (February 2014)

The Council sought comments on the Core Strategy Publication Draft Monday, between 17 February - Monday 31 March 2014, that it proposes to submit to the Secretary of State for public examination by an independent Planning Inspector.

The Core Strategy is intended to replace the strategic policies contained within the Replacement Unitary Development Plan (RUDP) adopted in 2005 and will provide a long term direction for future development and investment within the Bradford District over the next 15 years and beyond.

The Council, on 10 December 2013, resolved that the Publication Draft be published for formal representations and be submitted to the Government for examination.

This is was opportunity to comment on the Publication Draft and in particular on the following elements:

  1. Legal compliance
  2. Soundness of the Plan
  3. Compliance with the Duty to Co-operate

These were explained in further detail within the 'Guidance Note to accompany the Representation Form'.
