Local Development Framework

Core Strategy

The Core Strategy sets out the overall planning vision and framework for the district from 2011 to 2026 and beyond.

The Core Strategy plays a key part in the delivery of Calderdale's Sustainable Community Strategy by delivering all the parts that relate to spatial planning.

Spatial planning is about how land is used. It also looks at how places work, how people get around, the services available to them and the communities they are part of.

The Core Strategy includes an outline for delivering strategic development needs for Calderdale's future, including housing, employment, leisure and retail. All other Development Plan Documents must conform to the Core Strategy and the Core Strategy must conform to the Regional Spatial Strategy for Yorkshire & the Humber May 2008|

The Core Strategy will include:

• a spatial vision;
• core policies for development and waste disposal;
• strategic site allocations;
• a review of the Green Belt;
• and an implementation framework.

The next stage of consultation on the Core Strategy will soon be available. If you would like to be involved in helping develop the Core Strategy, please register your details on-line:- Local Development Framework consultations|

Work on the Core Strategy began in early 2008. Early community engagement took place between 17th November 2008 and 30th January 2009, the comments and feedback are now available.

Comments and the councils response can also be viewed on-line:- Local Development Framework consultations|
