Rural Development

There are extensive areas of open land in Tameside.

If you are a farmer needing general advice or advice on planning permission then look at the following links: -

• Government Advice to Farmers
• Planning Portal advice on the need for planning permission around farms

If you live in an open area and you need advice on local planning policy then check the Unitary Development Plan on issues like Green Belt Policy and development in open land. Extensions to houses or buildings in open areas are covered by our normal Planning FAQs.
