Resources and Implementation

3.27 A fundamental element in the implementation of the policies of the Plan is the availability of financial, human and physical resources from Calderdale Council, the private sector, voluntary sector and other public agencies.

3.28 The Replacement UDP provides a policy framework to guide and control new development. It also provides a planning framework for the Council’s other policies and strategies and helps to influence the Council’s own spending programmes. Additionally, it guides and assists the actions of all other organisations that have a role to play in Calderdale’s future.

3.29 It is recognised that business interests, other public and private bodies and private individuals will make much of the investment necessary to achieve the Plan’s development and environmental objectives. However, the uptake of sites allocated for new development will, to a certain degree, be dependent on the extent to which public agencies are able to allocate resources to improve infrastructure, the environment and services.

3.30 Calderdale Council will seek to secure sufficient resources to enable the various policies contained in the Plan to be implemented. The Council has an important role to play in allocation, co-ordination and implementation of resources. However, it is restricted in this role due to the finite and variable supply of resources made directly available to it. It is therefore essential for the Council to act as an enabling, as well as an implementing body, so as to encourage and stimulate the provision of additional resources to bridge the gap between those publicly available and those held by other bodies in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the Plan. It may also be necessary from time to time for the Council to exercise its compulsory purchase powers to enable development to proceed.

3.31 The Council will therefore encourage, when appropriate, the formation of partnerships between the public, private and voluntary sectors in order to rationalise the use of finite resources in the most efficient and effective manner so as to achieve the policy objectives of the Plan.
