Greater Manchester housing plans – consult details

by Geoff Abell on 23 January, 2019

We promised to bring you details of how to respond to version 2 of this Greater-Manchester-wide plan.  To remind Marple and High Lane residents, the proposal includes no building in Marple as part of this but it is proposed that the High Lane development will be reduced from 4000 dwellings to 500, with housing now on both sides of the A6.  Some green belt will still be affected.  Infrastructure and emission levels are still issues.

Plans will be available for inspection at a drop-in session in High Lane library this Sat, 26 Jan from 10:30 am until noon.

Consultation has now opened and will be closing on 18 March.  You can reply online on the following link.

Alternatively you can use email via planningandhousing@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk

OR by post to Planning Team Consultation, GMCA, Churchgate House, 56 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 6EU

If you would like to respond by email or post, please be sure to include the following information, otherwise the Planning Team may not be able to use it.

  • Name and contact details – please give us your name and at least one way for us to get in touch with you (e.g. your phone number, email address, or postal address).
  • Organisation – are you representing an organisation or group? Tell us who it is and how we can contact them.
  • What you are commenting on – tell us which part of the plan you are writing to us about. Include the question, chapter names, and the reference number of the policy you’re referring to. If known, please also give us page numbers and paragraph numbers. If talking about a particular site, please use the same site name/description used in the plan itself. If you have comments about more than one part of the document then set them out separately.
  • Your comments – tell us what you do or don’t like about the part of the plan you are commenting on, and include your reasons why.
  • Suggestions/alternatives – if you have better ideas or want to offer up alternative proposals, let us know about them. Tell us why you think your approach is better and how it will help us achieve the aims of the plan.

    The original plan was 4000 homes over 20 years.
    Is the new plan 500 homes over 20 years?

    • Geoff Abell says:

      Under the second version of GMSF plans, that is the proposal. However, the overall “need” – the number of houses required – is being challenged by all parties, as is the time period required.
