Future of the Development Plan in Calderdale

1.17 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 has radically changed the foundation for the preparation of the Development Plan across the country. The former raft of plans (Regional Planning Guidance, Structure Plans, Local Plans and Unitary Development Plans) are being replaced by Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks containing a series of Development Plan Documents. In Calderdale, the Replacement UDP was at an advanced stage of preparation when the legislation changed and as a result was taken through the statutory procedures and onto adoption. Upon its adoption on 25 August 2006 the Replacement UDP was “saved” for three years to allow preparation of documents within the Local Development Framework to be undertaken. It is anticipated that the Replacement UDP will itself be replaced (at least in part) by the Calderdale LDF by August 2009.

1.18 The Calderdale Local Development Framework will consist of a number of documents including (as at November 2006): -

1. Core Strategy;
2. Statement of Community Involvement;
3. Waste, Development Plan Document;
4. Green Belt Review, Development Plan Document;
5. Land Allocations, Development Plan Document;
6. Development Control, Development Plan Document;
7. Supplementary Planning Documents for:-

• Affordable Housing;
• Management of Housing Supply;
• Waterside Development;
• Elland Town Centre;
• Developer Contributions towards Education Infrastructure;
• Developer Contributions for Loss of Employment Land;
• Open Space Provision and Locally Determined Standards;
• Flood Risk;
• Sustainable Design;
• Renewable Energy;
• Planning Obligations;
• Car Parking Requirements;

1.19 Details of the documents and the timetable for their production may be found in the Local Development Scheme which does not form part of the Replacement UDP and is published separately.
