A DROP-in session takes place in Keighley on Thursday (Jan 24) as part of public consultation into Bradford Council’s partial review of its adopted core strategy.

The strategy forms part of the district Local Plan, which sets out the council’s strategic housing, employment, transport, retail, leisure and environmental policy requirements.

It also outlines the framework for the broad location, scale and distribution of sites, predominantly for housing and employment developments.

The drop-in is being held at Central Hall, Alice Street, between 3.30pm and 7.30pm.

Steve Hartley, director of place at Bradford Council, said: “This is the first stage of our partial review of the core strategy and we’re keen to get feedback on whether we’ve chosen the right areas to take a fresh look at in light of the proposed changes to Government planning policy.

“With this just being the first stage there will be further opportunities to comment as we progress but we’ve got strong aspirations for our district to grow its economy and provide high-quality homes for people, so it’s important we get this right.”
