CIVIC SOCIETY NEWS

KIRKLEES COUNCIL 'CAN ADOPT LOCAL PLAN'

Kirklees Council has been told it can proceed towards adoption of the Local Plan.

An examination by the Planning Inspectorate has concluded that it is sound and legally compliant. Its adoption will be considered at an extraordinary Council meeting on February 27.

PLANNING ISSUES
HAVE YOUR SAY ON PLANNING APPLICATIONS
​
An important role of Huddersfield Civic Society is to consider planning applications. Kirklees Council consults us on major applications which cover the area.

Changes often result from our comments and efforts in preventing development which is felt to have a negative impact on the area’s heritage and environmental quality.
​
Anyone can view and comment on planning applications via the Kirklees Council Planning website.
​
​ If you see a planning application you think we should know about, please contact us in addition to telling Kirklees Council your views.
