This e-bulletin is to inform you that the Council's new Draft Bradford District Local Plan (Regulation 18) with ‘preferred options' for policies and site allocations is now published for consultation. Alongside this consultation, the Council has issued a Call for Sites.
The Bradford District Local Plan is a newly integrated single plan and takes into account comments which were received to the last consultation on the partial review of the Core Strategy along with new evidence to support the policies.
The Council welcomes your views on the emerging Bradford District Local Plan and Call for Site submissions.
The consultation is open from 9am on Monday 8th February through to 23:59hrs on Wednesday 24 March 2021.
Viewing Documents
The Bradford District Local Plan and supporting documents are available to view on the Council’s new consultation software OpusConsult and OpusMaps consultation website here - Local Plan consultation system.
An interactive Call for Sites form is available from on the Local Plan consultation system.
Alternatively, a full suite of Print/PDF versions of the plan are available to view and download on the Council’s main Planning Policy webpages and via: Bradford Council Consultations.
Due to the current pandemic, the consultation material will only be available online and paper copy documents will not be available in the usual deposit locations. We are however putting measures in place to improve accessibility to the plan with a special order request service for paper material for people unable to access digital material.
Online Events
The Local Plan Team is also hosting a series of online public and stakeholder information sessions covering planning policy topics and the proposed site allocations. This information will be available on the Council’s website shortly.
