Understanding the Replacement Calderdale UDP

1.10 The Replacement Calderdale UDP consists of a Written Statement of the Council’s Policies and Proposals for development and a Proposals Map showing the specific locations where policies apply. The Written Statement has two levels of consideration:-

PART ONE:- this is the Strategic Policy Framework for the District, setting out the principal policies that are applicable across it as a whole. It has been formulated with regard to current national and regional policies together with social, economic and environmental considerations.

PART TWO:- this is generally in conformity with Part One and sets out detailed Policies and Proposals including policies that will form the basis for determining planning applications. Part Two also provides the reasoned justification for all the policies in the Plan.

1.11 In addition, the UDP includes a Proposals Map which forms part of the Plan. This is divided into seven individual sheets focussed upon the main towns or surrounding areas as follows:-

1. Widdop Moor, Stansfield Moor and Wadsworth Moor;
2. Todmorden, Walsden, Cornholme, Eastwood and surrounding countryside;
3. Turley Holes and Higher House Moor, Soyland Moor and Rishworth Moor;
4. Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Luddenden/ Luddendenfoot and surrounding countryside;
5. Halifax, Sowerby Bridge and surrounding countryside;
6. Ripponden, Elland and surrounding countryside; and
7. Shelf, Northowram, Hipperholme, Brighouse and surrounding countryside.

1.12 Part One Policies, are of District-wide relevance and are shown in BOLD UPPER CASE TEXT and are contained within a green box. They are shown separately within a complete listing as Part One of the Plan between Sections 2 and 3 and have also been integrated into the structure of the Replacement UDP to provide a more coherent context for the site specific and detailed development control style policies and proposals of Part Two.

1.13 Part Two Policies are shown in bold lower case text and are contained within a blue box, in order that they may be easily distinguished from the Part One Policies and the remainder of the reasoned justification. Each of the Sections within the Replacement UDP therefore contain, where relevant, both Part One and Part Two Policies, which may be identified easily.
