Place and Environment

We work to deliver an increase in our affordable and sustainable housing and employment site supply, as well as a​ reduction in fuel poverty and energy efficiency in houses, and ​​a more sustainable energy supply​​. Alongside this, we work to accelerate and improve the quality of infrastructure. For example, we do this through digital infrastructure improvements, quality place design, and by improving flood resilience.

The Place Narrative has been written for partners and stakeholders of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. It provides a single narrative, and a consistent but flexible evidence base to underpin our plans and strategies, and those of our partners.
