The government has asked every council to produce a comprehensive plan called the Local Development Framework, which sets out how much development there should be over the next 18 years, and where it should go.
In Kirklees, ensuring we emerge strongly from the recession relies on us identifying land which will help businesses to expand and create more new and skilled jobs for our residents. At the same time, as our population increases and people are living longer, we also need to identify where we can build new homes.
Our new plans will govern how planning applications and proposed developments are treated. This is particularly important for us all because the type of policies we adopt now will affect the district's ability to grow and thrive in the future.
From 7th December 2010 until 13th February 2011 we are inviting you to consider our latest proposal and tell us your views:
A full copy of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy is available for you to read at Batley Town Hall, Batley Library, Birstall Information Point, Mirfield Library & Information Centre, Skelmanthorpe Council Offices, Dewsbury Town Hall, Dewsbury Library, Cleckheaton Town Hall, Heckmondwike Library and Information Point, Holmfirth Library (Cash & Information Point), Marsden Information Point, Meltham Town Hall, and the Planning Service office at Civic Centre 3, Huddersfield.
