Local Plan Review – The Oldham Local Plan: Publication Plan
CONSULTATION PERIOD EXTENDED TO FRIDAY 27 MARCH 2026
Representations are now being invited on the Oldham Local Plan: Publication between Wednesday 4 February 2026 to 11.59pm on Friday 27 March 2026.
The Publication Plan follows on from the Draft Local Plan consultation that was carried out in early 2024.
The Plan contains a vision for Oldham, a set of plan objectives and non-strategic planning policies covering a wide range of topic areas including housing, open land, centres, our economy, climate change, design, transportation and our communities.
Planning affects many aspects of our lives and our environment – from where we live, work, shop and how we spend our leisure time. In producing this Local Plan, we are not just considering land uses, but we are also considering other issues that can be affected by land use, including health, education and community safety.
This document is called the ‘Oldham Local Plan: Publication Plan’ (‘Publication Plan’) and is the final draft Local Plan that is consulted on prior to submission of the Local Plan to the Secretary of State for independent examination
It has been informed by comments collected from past consultations – the Regulation 18 Notification, Issues and Options and Draft Local Plan, as well as supporting evidence.
Please view the Statement of Representation Procedure for details of the consultation and how to submit your representations.
