NOTICE OF DEPOSIT OF PROPOSALS FOR THE ALTERATION OF A UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

KIRKLEES UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Kirklees Metropolitan Council has prepared proposals for the alteration of the above plan. The proposals refer to land at Rowley Lane, Lepton, Huddersfield, site reference K8. If, and when, these proposals are adopted they will form part of the development plan for the area of Kirklees Metropolitan Council. The development plan forms the basis for decisions on land use planning affecting the area. The Kirklees Unitary Development Plan was adopted in March 1999 but the provisions for the site at Rowley Lane, Lepton, reference K8 were quashed by a judgement of the High Court dated 15th February 2000. The alteration to the plan now makes provision for the site in the light of that judgement. Copies of the plan identifying the site together with relevant documentation of the background to the High Court challenge, the transcript of the High Court judgement, and the Council’s reasons for showing the site as green belt as set out in a report to the Regeneration Management Board of Kirklees Council dated 17th August 2000, are available for public inspection at: Kirklees Planning Office, Civic Centre III, Huddersfield. 0845-1715 hours, Monday to Thursday and 0845-1645 hours, Friday.
