Transforming Batley and Dewsbury into Premier Business & Residential Hubs Batley and Dewsbury aims to reclaim their status as vibrant centres of commerce and community within North Kirklees. Despite years of neglect due to poor planning, management, and a lack of focus, our towns harbour immense potential for growth and revitalisation.
The BD2030 Vision sets forth a clear agenda to reinvigorate our communities by:
Creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive, attracting investment, and stimulating economic activity.
Cultivating vibrant, attractive town centres that cater to the needs and aspirations of residents.
Ensuring housing options for all, including affordable housing, to support a diverse and inclusive community.
CRespecting and celebrating our cultural heritage as an integral part of our identity and community fabric.
Ensuring housing options for all, including affordable housing, to support a diverse and inclusive community.
“To achieve these objectives, we must adapt and modernise our planning strategies, including exploring measures such as Compulsory Purchase, and updating planning requirements to align with the BD2030 Vision. This entails revisiting existing policies such as the UDP, Education sites DPD, and Core Strategy, while ensuring compatibility with environmental considerations, including European Designated sites, English Heritage sites, and Natural England guidelines. While this website is an independent effort by Mr. Fab, it represents a call to action for all stakeholders to contribute to and realise the BD2030 Vision. With collaborative effort and a shared commitment to progress, we can transform Batley and Dewsbury into thriving, sustainable, and inclusive communities by 2030.”
