Core Strategy DPD - Introduction
The Core Strategy is one of the key documents that forms part of the emerging Local Development Framework for Bradford. It will:
- Set out the broad aims and objectives for sustainable development in the District for the next 15-20 years until 2026;
- Set out broad policies for steering and shaping development within the district;
- Set out the broad locations for new housing, employment and infrastructure investment; and
- Take account of national and regional policy and the Council’s aims as set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy - ‘The Big Plan’.
- The Core Strategy will not allocate specific sites for new housing and employment development.
The final Core Strategy will set out what is to be done, where and by whom to achieve the over arching vision and objectives of the plan. It needs to co-ordinate the local authority and its partner organisations’ policies and actions, which affect what goes where in the district.
There are a number of stages within the Plan production which seek to identify the broad issues faced by the district and the options to address these. Community involvement and engagement is an important element of the LDF in order to produce a plan that meets the needs of all its stakeholders.
The stages of the Core Strategy are set out below. Consultation documents, event reports and representations are available for viewing
