Planning

Decisions on planning matters in Wilsden and Harecroft remain with the Shipley Area Planning Panel of Bradford Council but there is a legal requirement that they consult Wilsden Parish Council about all planning applications in our area. The Parish Council has established a Planning Committee that meets regularly. Details of these meetings are given in the MINUTES & AGENDAS section.

As with other meetings of the Parish Council the Planning Committee is open to members of the public and where interested parties, whether applicants or objectors, wish to make representations to the committee, this is allowed.

Wilsden Parish Council and Bradford Council have reached agreement on a Planning Protocol to govern the relationship between the two councils.
