Bradford Council's draft Local Plan has been published.

What is the Local Plan, and why does it matter to Clayton?

Bradford District’s Local Plan sets out how the area is expected to develop up to 2043. It identifies potential sites for new housing and employment and establishes the planning policies that will shape future development.

The proposals could have a lasting impact on Clayton, so it is important for local residents to understand what is being proposed.

Bradford Council is now consulting on the draft plan, with comments invited until 5pm on Monday 30 November 2026.

You can view the documents and submit your comments directly through the Council’s consultation portal:

Please come along to the meeting on Monday 2nd November at 6.30pm - Clayton Village Hall.
