• Community / Kirklees ward member / officer engagement: The council request that Kirklees Council officers, ward councillors and the community in the area close to the proposals (particularly Birstall and Birkenshaw / Cleckheaton wards) continue to be consulted as the proposals evolve to ensure any cross-boundary issues are fully considered.

• Education provision:
o The council is keen to review further evidence as it emerges relating to the impacts of the proposed development on education provision in Kirklees.

• Greater reference to cross-boundary working within policies – the council believes that there could be greater reference to cross-boundary working including within policies relating to the highway network (Policy SP1, SP3), White Rose Forest (Policy EN3), Mass Transit (Policy SP6) and strategic green infrastructure (Policy SP10).
