Holcroft Moss SPD
Holcroft Moss Planning Obligations SPD: Joint Supplementary Planning Document
On behalf of, and in conjunction with, the Places for Everyone (PfE) Plan local planning authorities (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan), the GMCA has co-ordinated the production of the Holcroft Moss Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
This SPD seeks to provide further guidance on how criterion 17 (in particular) of Policy JP-C8 of the PfE Plan will be implemented. Criterion 17 seeks to ensure new development, where Transport Assessment identifies significant increases in traffic along the M62, does not have an adverse air quality impact on the protected habitats and species of Holcroft Moss, which is within the Manchester Mosses Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
The SPD was adopted with effect from 8 May 2025, following consultation which finished on 12 December 2024. It can be downloaded below, along with the consultation statement, adoption notice (which provides details of when and where documents can be inspected) and the project cost document.
Full details relating to the SPD and its production can be the GMCA website.
The SPD is a material consideration in making planning decisions and in doing so sets out the financial contributions that may be payable through S106 agreements when planning decisions are made.
