Bradford Waste Management DPD

8. Proposed Modifications (February 2017)

Consultation Period for Proposed Modifications is 15 February 2017 to 3pm on 29 March 2017

The Council submitted the Waste Management DPD to the Secretary of State on Monday 16 May, for examination in public by an independent Planning Inspector.

The Secretary of State then appointed Mr Stephen Pratt BA (Hons) MRTPI to undertake the examination into the Waste Management DPD.

The Waste Management DPD has now been examined by the independent Planning Inspector whose role is to assess whether the plan has been prepared in accordance with the Duty to Cooperate, legal and procedural requirements, and whether it is sound.

As part of the examination process, the Inspector has issued a number of Matters, Issues and Questions (MIQs) relating to the legal compliance and soundness of various parts of the Plan. The Council has issued responses to all the MIQs raised by the Inspector, some of which have resulted in a number of modifications being proposed. Alongside these modifications, the Inspector has also suggested a number of modifications to address any outstanding issues, which the Council have accepted and incorporated into the overall Schedule of Modifications.

As required under the Town and Country Planning Regulations 2012, the Council is now undertaking a 6 week public consultation on the Schedule of Modifications.

Alongside the Schedule of Modifications, the Sustainability Appraisal Addendum will be published, which will detail the potential impacts of the modified policies.

It is important to point out at this stage that representations on the Modifications must relate to test of soundness:

  • Positively prepared
  • Justified
  • Effective
  • Consistent with national policy
