Rochdale Draft Core Strategy August 2012

Overview

The Core Strategy is a borough-wide strategic framework for growth and development up to 2028. It includes policies that set out the broad scale and location of new housing and employment development, transport and environmental policies and policies for determining planning applications.

We have produced a Draft Core Strategy to give residents and stakeholders the opportunity to comment on our propsals.  This will give the Council the opportunity to make any necessary changes arising from these comments before proceeding to the formal Publication stage.

The consultation on the Draft Core Strategy runs from 13 August to 24 September 2012.
