This document forms part of Oldham Council’s Local Development Framework and supports policies in the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Unitary Development Plan (UDP).
On 29th September 2008, the Council adopted the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Provision Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The SPD provides further information to assist with the implementation of UDP policies on how the Council will seek open space, sport and recreation provision where it may be lost through alternative development or sought as part of a residential development. The SPD provides guidance and advice on:
The mechanisms for seeking a replacement facility and/or financial contribution where an open space, sport or recreation facility is lost as a result of development; and
The mechanisms for seeking open space, sport and recreation provision as part of a residential development.
The SPD covers the whole Borough except that part which falls within the Peak District National Park.
The SPD, and it supporting documents, can be viewed at the Civic Centre Planning Reception Level 12 and One-Stop Shop, Oldham Business Centre and public libraries. Alternatively, please click the links below to view the following documents:
