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.

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.
