Topic : silsden and steeton with eastburn neighbourhood plan |
|
| ginjo |
I have just recieved the above leaflet and am a bit perplexed.It seems that silsden is joining with steeton and eastburn to work on a joint plan for development, fair enough but isn't it a bit late as comments on the core strategy put together by bradford, had to be submitted no later than 31st march.Does this mean that silsden town council have not submitted their response.Also cllr mullen from steeton and eastburn states in his blurb that"whilst we realise that the number of housing units is fixed and whatever we do has to accord with that" rather alarming, the number of housing units is not fixed is it? sureley the whole idea of a development plan is for people to argue for and against proposals including the number of houses proposed for each area.I hope that silsden town council will have argued strongly against the numbers allocated and not just accepted what bradford have put forward! |

I read this differently. This is not to do with making direct comments on the core strategy that deadline has passed. This seems to be about the next step to create a neighbourhood plan other parish councils such as Ilkley and Howarth are doing their own. I read Cllr Mullen's comments to be that the neighbourhood plan has to take the figures eventually set by the core strategy for it to be legal. The neighbourhood plan will put Silsden and Steeton's views into the planning process. This is good news that the two councils are working together to stop further unwanted development over and above that set out in the core strategy. Nobody else is looking out for our communities good on them. |

Is this the same note or is their an update? Councillors in Steeton, Silsden and Eastburn join forces for more influence Councillors in Steeton, Silsden and Eastburn have joined forces to give themselves greater influence over future development strategies. The councils hope by working together they will have a stronger voice regarding issues such as housing, employment and transport. The three Aire Valley communities want to ensure residents’ interests are taken into account by both Bradford Council and North Yorkshire County Council. Members of Steeton-with-Eastburn Parish Council and Silsden Town Council met last month to discuss issues affecting both communities. Discussion centred on potential effects of proposals to build thousands of homes within the parishes’ boundaries during the next few years. The two councils agreed to prepare a joint Neighbourhood Plan, a legal document that must be taken into account by larger councils when they draw up development strategies. Steeton chairman, Councillor David Mullen, said it was clear the three communities shared several concerns. He added: “There’s housing, employment, transport and infrastructure – everything we’ve said when commenting on every planning application. “If we create this plan together, we’ll provide a unified front. Bradford Council has to listen to what it says.” Silsden ward councillor, Adrian Naylor, said the joint Neighbourhood Plan could also highlight issues raised by the villages’ close proximity to North Yorkshire, such as new housing or industry just over the border. |
