Greater Manchester Employment Land Position Statement

In May 2009, Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners (NLP) were commissioned by the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities to produce a statement on employment land provision across the ten district councils in Greater Manchester.

The Regional Spatial Strategy for the north-west, published in September 2008, sets out a series of priorities for development within the region.  Policy W3 relates to the supply of employment land and provides sub-regional requirements for provision up to 2021.

As advocated the provision of employment land figures by sub-region has required the ten districts and other partners to work together to agree the distribution of land within the sub-region.

The position statement is the outcome of joint-working between local planning authorities within Greater Manchester, and is intended to form an integral part of the evidence base and support for employment policies in district's local development frameworks, as well as making recommendations for a future approach to employment land reviews and subsequent monitoring.
