Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF)


The Greater Manchester Spacial Framework brings together the 10 authorities of Greater Manchester to identify future housing and land requirements.  They will produce a statutory joint Development Plan Document to manage the supply of land in Greater Manchester over the next 20 years.


As part of Stockport, one of the 10 GM authorities, Marple will undoubtedly be affected.  The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) is consulting on the first draft of the GMSF with a closing date of 11th January 2016.  

The Civic Society is preparing a detailed response in line with our policies and charitable objectives of protecting Marple from inappropriate development.  

However we are concious that the failure of Stockport MBC to implement their Allocations plan in 2013 has left Marple vulnerable to external planning pressure.
