24454-thumbOldham Council is reminding residents they can take part in the consultation on the draft version of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) until December 23.

All 10 Greater Manchester are working together on the joint plan which is being prepared to ensure that new homes and jobs are provided in the right places with the transport (roads, rail, Metrolink) and infrastructure to support the communities and manage growth sustainably.

The draft Greater Manchester Spatial Framework sets out:

· How much housing and employment land is needed up to 2035.

· A number of strategic sites across Greater Manchester to assist in meeting these requirements.

· The importance of infrastructure such as, health, education, transport, green spaces and utilities to support neighbourhoods and employment.

· Ways to protect and improve the natural environment.

Any comments you may have on this document are welcome. A final draft will be published in 2017 when another period of consultation will be held.
