Air Quality and Development Supplementary Planning Document

This document forms part of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Local Development Framework and supports policies in Oldham Metropolitan Borough Unitary Development Plan.

On 18 June 2007, the Council adopted the 'Air Quality and Development' Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). It provides further information on:

  • Definition of developments and sites requiring an air quality assessment

  • Air Quality Assessment methods

  • Approach to determining whether air quality issues are significant

  • Mitigation methods

The SPD covers the whole Borough except that part which falls within the Peak District National Park.

The SPD, and its supporting documents, can be viewed at the Civic Centre One-Stop Shop, the Civic Centre Planning Reception Level 12, Oldham Business Centre, Cromwell Street and public libraries. Alternatively, you can view the following documents through the links below:
