Title of Document Kirklees Council Proposed Submission Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD)

Subject matter and area covered Kirklees Council has prepared the Kirklees Core Strategy Proposed Submission Document DPD for submission to the Secretary of State. The Core Strategy sets out the broad spatial planning and policy framework for the whole of Kirklees (excluding the area within the Peak District National Park) up to 2028. It includes a long- term vision and strategic objectives, a spatial strategy, policy framework and a monitoring and implementation framework to deliver the strategy. The level of development over the period is identified together with broad locations where it should go. The strategy explains how it seeks to achieve economic, environmental and social gains and the infrastructure needed to support the development proposed. The Core Strategy sets the context for other LDF documents which must be in conformity with it.

Period within which representations must be made Representations are invited on the core strategy for a period of six weeks beginning on Thursday 20th September 2012. Representations should be made on the standard representations form and returned to the address below, no later than 9am on Friday 2nd November 2012. The use of the standard representations form is strongly recommended as this will ensure that comments are related to matters relevant to the subsequent examination by a planning inspector. Guidance notes on what this means and copies of the form are available to download from the Council’s website at www.kirklees.gov.uk/localdevelopment. These can also be requested by phoning 01484 414746 or by emailing [email protected] Only comments made by letter or email which arrive at the address or email address below within the time period specified will be considered.

Address details for representations Representations can be submitted by email or by post to the addresses below:

Email: [email protected] Post: Local Development Framework, Investment and Regeneration Service, Kirklees Council, PO Box B93, Civic Centre 3, Huddersfield, HD1 2JR

Where there are groups of people who share a common view on how they wish to see the core strategy changed, it would be very helpful if the group sent a single representation appending the names and addresses of those represented. Where requested, all named representatives will be notified of future stages. Please note that copies of all comments will be made available for the public to view, and therefore, cannot be treated as confidential. Data will be processed and held in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Request to be notified Representations may be accompanied by a request to be notified at an address/email address of any of the following:
