A planning team located within the Greater Manchester Geological Unit is responsible for all aspects of plan production and consultation, with assistance from the Greater Manchester authorities as necessary.
The Stage One Issues and Options Report was issued for consultation during May/June 2007. A report on the outcomes of this process was published in November 2007.
The Stage 2 Issues and Options Report will be issued for consultation for 6 weeks between Monday 6 October and Friday 14 November. It will revisit the issue of need for waste management facilities and explore the type of facilities that might be required as well as taking into account feedback received through the Stage One Issues and Options consultation.
Importantly, it begins to identify possible sites or areas where provision of new or improved waste management facilities might be suitable together with options for the spatial distribution of such facilities across the whole of Greater Manchester.
It also discusses possible approaches towards the provision of a set of development management policies that will help to guide decisions on future planning applications.
