As part of its 'Planning for BME Communities' project, Yorkshire Planning Aid has developed this free one-day event to help groups and individuals to understand what is involved in making a Planning Application.

For anyone thinking of extending their home, changing business premises, or developing new community buildings it is likely that Planning Permission will be needed. This FREE event will help you to understand when you need to apply for Planning Permission and what is involved:
~ Information about the planning application process and how to get it right
~ Planning Application workshops and activities
~ An opportunity to speak to planners about your own application

The session is being piloted in Kirklees and will run from 10am to 4pm on Wednesday 8th October at the Hudawi Centre in Huddersfield and on Saturday 18th October at the Al-Hikmah Centre in Batley. If successful it will be repeated in other Local Authority areas.

The North Kirklees Inter Faith Council has published a report "Beyond the Veil", research project into people’s perception of the Muslim Veil in Kirklees. The report concludes: “ The perception of Muslims and their contribution to society is generally positive” and “Public versus private displays of religiosity is not a new issue in this country, but in this case there is clearly a need and a desire for clarity and debate to help people make an informed decision”.
See attachment for the full report.

Following the Launch & Publication of the Report “Looking Beyond the Veil”, a Research Project into people’s perception of
the Muslim Veil in Kirklees, North Kirklees Interfaith Council is initiating discussion forums in local communities across
Kirklees. The aim of these discussion forums is to provide safe spaces where people from all communities can come together to openly discuss the findings of the report. These forums will also provide opportunities to build trust and understanding between all sections of the community. It would also increase awareness and education of common issues.
