Made Neighbourhood Plans

Neighbourhood Planning has presented an opportunity for local communities to come together and decide how they would like their neighbourhood area to be developed, protected or enhanced.  

Neighbourhood Development Plans are policy documents that are prepared by the community and set out a framework for future development, which can often include design standards and infrastructure. They must be prepared in accordance with the statutory Planning Regulations and following a local referendum they can be adopted by the Council for them to be formally used and recognised in the planning process and part of the Local Plan. 

The Neighbourhood Development Plans featured below have successfully passed a local referendum and have been formally adopted by the Council and now form part of the Local Plan for the Bradford District.
