Joint West Yorkshire Mass Transit Spatial Development Framework Development Plan Document (Reference to Council)
From: Cabinet - Tuesday 8th July 2025 1.30 pm - July 08, 2025
West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) is seeking support from Kirklees Council and other West Yorkshire authorities (Bradford, Calderdale, Leeds, and Wakefield Councils) for the joint production of a Mass Transit SDF DPD (with WYCA acting as co-ordinator). This would be a high-level document setting out the vision for a West Yorkshire wide Mass Transit system providing an overarching framework for Local Plans and more detailed policy guidance. Additional benefits of an SDF DPD are: · To support WYCAâs business case for a MT network. · To support a Transport and Works Act Order which will grant the line and stations deemed consent (or planning permission). To raise awareness of the proposal, a report will be presented to Cabinet for ratification. A decision to proceed with the production of a joint Mass Transit SDF DPD is a decision of Council. Background papers Local Development Scheme Revisions â Cabinet 8th July 2025 Background information Officer technical working groups with WYCA and West Yorkshire authorities on the vision and development of potential options has led to the consideration of a joint MT SDF DPD to support the delivery of a West Yorkshire wide Mass Transit system. At the WYCA Transport Committee on 14th March 2024, the Combined Authority approved the allocation of up to £1 million funds from the Mass Transit budget to support the feasibility of the Dewsbury Line Development Project. WYCA undertook consultation on a Mass Transit Vision between 17th October 2022 and 16th January 2025: West Yorkshire Mass Transit Vision 2040 | Your Voice To demonstrate support for Mass Transit to the Department of Transport, all West Yorkshire authorities were asked to agree the West Yorkshire Mass Transit Vision 2040 (August 2023) Mass Transit Vision 2040 (westyorks-ca.gov.uk). Kirklees Council signed up to the vision and is named in the document. However, it should be stated, that the adoption of the vision only commits the council to supporting the scheme in principle subject to further detailed work to be undertaken. WYCA undertook consultation on Mass Transit Phase 1: (Leeds Line and Bradford Line): Mass Transit Hub | Your Voice between 15th July 2024 and 30th September 2024.

Air Quality Management Areas for Revocation or Amendment 2025
From: Cabinet - Tuesday 8th July 2025 1.30 pm - July 08, 2025
A report recommending the revocation or amendment of Air Quality Management Areas in Kirklees. As the decision relates to the revocation or amendment (reduction in area) of Air Quality Management Areas it is a significant, positive impact for people living/working/visiting those areas as there has been sufficient reduction in air pollutants that the local air quality now meets national guidelines. The revocation/amendment of AQMAs, is largely an administrative process, however it does have the resultant impact of removing that locality from the Councilâs obligations to develop and implement an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP). AQAPs are required to identify and implement interventions to lead to a reduction in the pollutants of concern in designated AQMAs. Background papers; - Air Quality Management Areas for Revocation or Amendment Cabinet Report - Kirklees Council Air Quality Annual Status Report 2024: www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/crime-and-safety/pdf/kirklees-annual-status-report-2024.pdf The proposed decision is a statutory requirement for local authorities as part of their obligations under Local Air Quality Management. The proposed actions are in accordance with the requirements contained within the Environment Act 1995 (as amended), Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidance.
