Local Development Framework Consultation

The Council has issued its Core Strategy: Further Engagement Draft and accompanying documents for public consultation.

This is to support the process of preparing a new dvelopment plan called the Local Development Framework which will replace the current Replacement Unitary Development Plan for the Bradford District.

There have already been a range of public consultations on the Core Strategy Issues and Options. This has led to the production of a Further Engagement Draft which sets out the proposed approach to managing development and cahnge to 2028.

There are several environment policies (within Planning for Place), covering open space and urban greenspace, biodiversity and geodiversity, historic environment, landscape, trees and woodlands, energy, development and flood risk and environmental protection
