The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates poulation changes for UK, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The ONS estimates Calderdale’s population will increase by around 5,000 citizens over the plan period.
Calderdale’s plan for housing growth has changed over the local plan period.
The original idea was for most development to take place in Halifax area, however as you can see from the chart, this has now shifted to Brighouse.
Under Calderdale Council’s draft Local Plan, nearly half Calderdale’s growth is focused on Brighouse.
Brighouse allocations are categorised as strategic extensions (garden suburbs) and other Brighouse allocations.
Benchmark land value (BLV) is a critical component of the viability assessment. The BLV provides the baseline against which the viability of a particular scheme/site is tested.
To ensure viability, the costs of any requirements likely to be applied to
development, such as requirements for affordable housing, standards, infrastructure contributions or other requirements should, when taking account of the normal cost of development and mitigation, provide competitive returns to a willing land owner and willing developer to enable the development to be deliverable
Average timescale for strategic local plan adoption (days), from plan submisison to the Planning Inspectorate through to being found sound and then adopted.
Calderdale Council decided to focus all the significant growth in South East Calderdale. With major developments already underway in neighbouring Kirklees. Find out more about Calderdale's plans at their website
