Joint Supplementary Planning Documents

On behalf of, and in conjunction with, the Places for Everyone (PfE) Plan local planning authorities (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan), the GMCA has produced two joint Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). These SPDs support the implementation of the PfE Plan.  

The PfE Plan is the “parent" Development Plan Document (DPD) for both SPDs. The SPDs do not introduce new policy or affect the location or amount of new development proposed. Instead, they seek to assist in ensuring that appropriate mechanisms are in place to mitigate adverse impacts from qualifying developments on protected habitat and species. The SPDs are, however, used as a material consideration, to inform Development Management decisions within the PfE Plan area.
