Help shape future Planning Policies.
Apologies if you read our email last Friday about the Bradford Core Strategy Partial Review and had problems finding our online consultation. We have updated the links in this email to help you get straight to the consultation page.
Bradford Council is starting work on the partial review of its adopted Core Strategy. The Core Strategy forms an essential part of the Local Plan for Bradford setting out our strategic housing, employment, transport, retail, leisure and environmental policy requirements and also importantly the policy context for the broad location, scale and distribution of site allocations for mainly housing and employment. We also use the Core Strategy policies to help determine planning applications and inform key infrastructure and investment priorities.
The review has been stimulated following recent updates to national planning policy, particularly in relation to calculating housing requirements, the continued protection and enhancement of green belt and local policy changes including the adoption of a new economic strategy for the district and a focus upon major transport projects, including Northern Powerhouse Rail.
The first stage of consultation involves establishing the range of existing adopted core strategy policies which may require reviewing. The Council welcomes feedback on our initial directions. This consultation is an early opportunity to help shape Bradford’s planning polices for the future.
