CULLINGWORTH is poised to move a step closer to having its own neighbourhood development plan.

An application by the village council for neighbourhood area designation, which would pave the way for a plan to be drawn-up, is set to be approved.

Bradford Council’s executive will consider the issue on Tuesday, with an officer recommendation that the go-ahead be given.

Public consultation was carried out last autumn as communities in the district drew up the blueprints, which give people a greater say over development.
