Key Principles for the Future Development of Central Elland

The following key principles set the context for the future development of the area. Central Elland should become:

• A vibrant and sustainable place that people want to live, work in and visit;
• A place that provides services and amenities locally, and provides convenient, high quality public transport facilities for when people do need to leave the area;
• A high quality and attractive urban environment in which local distinctiveness is valued and encouraged;
• A cohesive place in which people are able to move safely and efficiently between the various key areas, especially by sustainable means.

These key principles and objectives underpin the SPD, and set the basis for a consideration of issues and solutions in Chapters 4-6.

These principles are supported by Policies GBE1, GP1, GP4 and GT1 of the RCUDP.
