Strategic Planning
The Strategic Planning Service is at the heart of the Council’s vision to improve the quality of life in Tameside. Through the existing Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF) the service develops and applies policies that aim to secure the sustainable development of the Borough.
The Local Development Framework is at the heart of the vision for Tameside. It provides a long-term plan for Tameside and contains policies for sustainable development across the Borough. The list below shows all the current documents and information that go to make up the Tameside LDF.
- Local Development Scheme
- Statement of Community Involvement
- Annual Monitoring Report
- Sustainability Appraisal
- LDF Evidence Base
- Supplementary Planning Documents
- Supplementary Planning Guidance Notes
- Hattersley Area Action Plan (withdrawn)
- Joint Waste Development Plan Document
- North West of England Plan - Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021
- Registration of Details for Future Consultation
Tameside Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was adopted on 17th November 2004 and supersedes all previous UDP Documents. It will remain the statutory development plan until adoption of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy Development Plan Document.

Conservation Areas in Tameside vary ranging from historic town centres to industrial and rural villages. Policies in the Conservation section generally presume against the loss of features which add to the special interest of the areas.
The 'List' of buildings of special architectural or historic interest is a register, compiled by English Heritage, recording the best of British buildings. It comprises a wide variety of structures, from castles and cathedrals down to milestones and village pumps.
Trees, which are important for public enjoyment, many be protected and you will need to make an application to us for works to fell or lop a tree that is protected, and works to trees within a Conservation Area.
