Stockport Publishes Draft Local Plan

Stockport has released a 219-page spatial strategy for the borough, featuring 26 Green Belt sites.

The draft local plan is now available for review ahead of a consultation period set to begin in the coming weeks.

Planners across the region have got a busy weekend of reading ahead of them.

The plan's design has been described as "not exactly groundbreaking" by some, but others have expressed optimism about the proposal.

The plan's release follows a period of dispute over Stockport's local plan, which began when the council withdrew from the spatial plan for Greater Manchester.
