PLANNING

The site is allocated for mixed use development under the Calderdale local plan, adopted in March 2023.

The site remains allocated for mixed use development within the Local Plan under Policy SD6 (site reference L1170) with E(g)(iii) and C3 uses considered appropriate. No other principal uses will be acceptable on the site. Ancillary uses would be acceptable providing they are compatible with other proposed uses on site — e.g. some community or retail uses that would help bring vitality and active uses to this regenerated area of the town centre.

Development will be expected to incorporate a high standard of design and make a positive contribution to the area — in particular the adjacent Minster Church and Conservation Area. Development should maximise opportunities for people to visit the town centre on foot, by cycle or by public transport. Opportunities for renewable energy also need to be explored.
