Rooley Moor Neighbourhood Area October 2015
Overview
Rooley Moor Forum has expressed their intention to produce a neighbourhood plan for the Rooley Moor area, and have therefore formally applied for the designation of a neighbourhood area.
Established under the Localism Act 2011, neighbourhood plans provide the opportunity for local communities to play a greater role in determining the future of their area. A neighbourhood plan can outline policies on the development and allocate land for development within the designated neighbourhood area, and will propose the same or higher level of growth as proposed in a local authority's Local Plan. It will also be used when assessing any planning application with the designated area.
Why your views matter
In accordance with regulation 6 of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Rochdale Borough Council is inviting representations on the proposed neighbourhood area application for its designation of a neighbourhood area.
