Document Title
Draft Oldham Local Plan
Subject Matter
Oldham Council is preparing a new Local Plan to replace the existing Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document adopted November 2011. Views are sought on the Draft Oldham Local Plan and its supporting documents.
What is a Local Plan?
A Local Plan is a plan that is drawn up to guide and manage future growth and development (such as housing, offices, industry, warehousing and retail). It contains planning policies that will be used as the basis for determining planning applications and identifies sites where development should be permitted as well as areas where development should be restricted.
It is essential that the Council continues to have an up-to-date statutory development plan in order to provide for the proper planning of the area.
The Local Plan will cover the whole borough except the part that falls within the Peak District National Park.
