Call for Sites
We want to hear from you if you have any suggestions for sites that should be considered when we are developing the Local Plan. This is known as the 'Call for Sites'.
The call for sites will not determine how much new development we need, or whether a site should be allocated for development. It is an opportunity for local residents, community groups, business operators, landowners and developers to suggest sites that they would like to be considered as part of the preparation of Manchester Local Plan 2040.
Anyone can suggest a site to us. You will be asked for your name, if you are an organisation or group, your email address and any comments.
You do not have to own the site to suggest it. If you are not the landowner but you know who it is, it is helpful if you can tell us this. But if you don't know, it doesn't matter as we can look into this.
Types of sites or developments you can suggest
You can suggest any site that you would like to be considered when we look at how we can meet the needs for new development in Manchester between now and 2040.
Sites can be suggested for a wide range of uses. This includes:
- Housing
- Gypsy and Traveller sites
- Travelling Showpersons sites
- Industry (including distribution and logistics uses)
- Commercial uses (including offices, retail, leisure, hotel and mixed commercial uses)
- Community uses
- Tourism
- New public greenspace
- Renewable energy
If you think that there could potentially be more than one suitable use for a site, you can indicate this on your submission.
Sites can be suggested for more than one use or either in combination. For example, housing and commercial uses together. Or, separately for example, all housing or all commercial development.
