Core Strategy
The Core Strategy will be the key Development Plan Document in the Local Development Framework (LDF). Once adopted, the Core Strategy will replace significant elements of the existing Unitary Development Plan as the document that sets out the long term strategic policies for Manchester's future development and will form the framework that planning applications will be assessed against.
The Core Strategy is presently being prepared and should be adopted in 2012. The timetable for its preparation is set down in the City Council's Local Development Scheme 2010-2013.
Core Strategy Development Plan Document
On the 18 July Manchester City Council submitted its Core Strategy Development Plan Document to the Secretary of State for independent examination, following the Publication consultation stage in February and March this year.
A full set of paper copies of documents is available at the Core Strategy Examination Library in Heron House, 47 Lloyd Street, Manchester. If you wish to view any of the documents in this library you will need to make an appointment by telephoning the Programme Officer for the Core Strategy Examination on 07940 722 171 or emailing j.conmee@manchester.gov.uk
The submission documents and evidence base can also be viewed (via CD) in Manchester libraries and at the Council's Customer Service Centre at One First Street, at the junction of Albion Street and Whitworth Street West. The Service Centre is open from 8am-5pm between Monday and Friday.
