Local Development Framework Mailing List
Are you interested in Oldham’s environment and the future planning of
the Borough?
Do you want to be kept informed and have your say as the Council sets
about updating its land-use development plan, now called the Local Development Framework?
If so, then please let us have your name and address contact details
and you will be added to the Local Development Framework mailing list. You will then be kept informed
at all stages during the preparation of the Local Development Framework. Please send your details to
email spi@oldham.gov.uk
When sending your contact details, please also let us know which parts
of the Borough you wish to be kept informed about:
- The Whole Borough

- Failsworth and Hollinwood
- Royton and Shaw

The Local Development Framework,
which will gradually supersede the Unitary Development Plan, consists of a number of documents as detailed
below.
Please let us know which types of Local Development Framework documents
you wish to be kept informed about:
- Statement of Community Involvement – which sets out
how the Council will engage the community in the preparation and revision of Local Development Framework
documents and in determining planning applications.
- Core Strategy – sets out a vision and strategic objectives for the
Borough, a spatial strategy, core policies and a monitoring and implementation framework for achieving
delivery.
- Site-specific allocations of land – this document sets out where land
is allocated for a specific use such as residential or business or retail or open space.
- Area Action Plans – these provide the planning framework for areas
where significant change or conservation is needed.
- Development Control policies – these are policies setting out criteria
against which planning applications for development and use of land or buildings will be assessed.
- Supplementary Planning Documents – these expand on policy or provide
more detail on it to help in its implementation.
- Joint Waste DPD – this document is being prepared by the Greater Manchester
Geology Unit on behalf of the 10 Greater Manchester Authorities. It will set out the vision and spatial
objectives relating to waste for the Greater Manchester area. In doing so it will develop the main policies
and broad framework for implementation and monitoring. It will also identify sites within the plan area.
Please note that if your details are added to the Local
Development Framework mailing list they will not be confidential, but they will only be used for informing
you about the various stages during the preparation of the Local Development Framework documents.
