We work closely with our partners to support the delivery of a strong land planning system in West Yorkshire. This involves speeding up the delivery of key sites and policies. As a result, we can achieve our shared vision and missions.
Across West Yorkshire, our Planning and Strategic Sites Team develops and supports the delivery of spatial strategies. These strategies seek to positively address climate change, promote inclusive growth and ensure good design. We also boost growth by investing in our strategic sites.
First, all plans balance economic, environmental and social goals. This helps tackle climate change, support fair growth and create better places. We also look beyond local areas to spot regional trends, such as housing and business needs, as well as solving issues that cross boundaries.
West Yorkshire authorities and partners work together on shared infrastructure needs. This includes transport, digital services, flood protection and waste management. We help our Local Authorities to work collaboratively on strategic planning matters.
It includes the delivery of well-designed homes and business spaces in our Spatial Priority Areas.
We manage travel impacts from development effectively, through securing funding for sustainable transport.
