09 Holding Direction (October 2016)

On Monday 10 October 2016 the Minister of State (Housing and Planning) issued a direction under section 21A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (inserted by section 145(5) of the Housing and Planning Act 2016) to the City of Bradford Metropolitan Council not to take any step in connection with the adoption of the Core Strategy. The Holding Direction was triggered at the request of Philip Davies MP and allows the Minster time to consider the issues raised by him before determining whether to formally intervene under Section 21 of the 2004 Act.

Following consideration of the matters raised in by Philip Davies the Gavin Barwell Minister of State (Housing and Planning) has formally withdrawn the holding direction in his letter dated 28 March 2017. This now allows the Council to proceed towards the adoption of the Core Strategy. The Council will now look to take the Core Strategy Inspectors Report forward for consideration at the earliest available meeting of Executive and Full Council.
