Supplementary Planning Documents
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) provide additional information on the implementation of Development Plan Document policies. The following SPDs are available:
Holmes Road SPD
This document sets out advice and guidance for the regeneration of the western end area of Holmes Road, Sowerby Bridge including its connections and relationship with the existing town centre, railway station, and the wider Sowerby Bridge Copley Valley Transformational Project. It is consistent with national planning policy; Regional Spatial Strategy and Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan (RCUDP).
The initial stages of public consultation ran from 24th April 2009 to 5th June 2009. Comments received during that period have helped to re-shape the Draft SPD.
The Council is seeking further comments on the Draft Holmes Road SPD. Any comments received will be taken to be part of the formal consultation (Regulation 17) which will end on 25th June 2010 at 5pm.
Appendix A and B have been attached as supporting documents - they are not open for comments.

Under the most recent Regulations there is no longer a requirement to subject the SPD to Sustainability Appraisal.
Halifax Town Centre SPD
This document is intended to address some of the planning-related issues affecting Halifax Town Centre, and to encourage its regeneration and sustainable development. A comprehensive study of Halifax town centre has informed this SPD, principally through the production of a Halifax town centre masterplan.
The Halifax Town Centre SPD builds on the successful programme of regeneration already being undertaken in Halifax through the Yorkshire Forward Renaissance Towns Programme.
The first Options Consultation was in December 2008, but since then some further sites have been added in to ensure that the Masterplan is as comprehensive as possible and these are the ones we are seeking people's views on at the moment.
