Public hearings will be held into a masterplan detailing where 165,000 homes will be built across Greater Manchester over the next 15 years - as opponents prepare to fight proposals to build on green belt land.
The Places for Everyone plan – the city-region’s strategy for housing, jobs and the environment until 2037 – will undergo a public examination later this year. Public hearings will be held over five months starting from November, to scrutinise the plan, and hundreds of campaigners will be invited.
The plan has been repeatedly revised since its inception as the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF). The latest delay triggered by Stockport’s decision to pull out in December 2020.
