Holcroft Moss Planning Obligations SPD
The Holcroft Moss Planning Obligations SPD applies across the whole PfE Plan area and is, therefore, being prepared jointly by the nine PfE Plan authorities.
This SPD seeks to provide further guidance on how criterion 17 (in particular) of Policy JP-C8 of the PfE Plan will be implemented. Criterion 17 seeks to ensure new development does not have an adverse impact on the protected habitats and species of Holcroft Moss, which is within the Manchester Mosses Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The SPD is applicable to all nine PfE Plan local authority areas (excluding that part of Oldham within the Peak District National Park).
Consultation on the draft SPD documents took place between the 1st of November and the 12th of December 2024. All responses to the consultation are currently being analysed. The draft SPD documents and further details about the consultation can be found below.
