Written question asked by Andrew Gwynne (Labour) on Tuesday, 17 May 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 19 May 2022. It was answered by Stuart Andrew (Conservative) on Wednesday, 25 May 2022 on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.


Local Plans: Tameside

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what the difference in status will be between Greater Manchester's Places for Everyone and Tameside's Local Plan.

Answer

Both the submitted Places for Everyone Plan and an emerging Tameside Local Plan are development plan documents. If both Places for Everyone and the Tameside Local Plan are found sound and adopted they will together form the development plan for the Tameside area.

Plans gain weight in decision making as they progress through the plan making process.

Places for Everyone has been submitted for examination, but until a plan is found sound and has been adopted it has limited weight in decision making. The Tameside Local Plan is still at an early stage of preparation and there has been no consultation on a draft plan as yet.
