Persimmon Update

It’s 10 months since Persimmon submitted their application for 140 houses on the Hawber Cote fields. There is no committee meeting planned by Bradford Council in January that would decide the application so we are still in the dark about the timing of a decision.
Thanks to the Council’s policies not all the documents relating to the application ( including your own 645 comments), are available to view, but we continue to do our best to keep you informed.
Planning decisions such as this are influenced by government policies and legislation. The existing policy of insisting that councils demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing sites has been very damaging in allowing speculative developments such as this to take place. Thankfully the government seems to be backing away from this, as well as the national housing number target.
So keep watching and listening . . .
