Have Your Say on Building on the Greenbelt
by jontwigge on 1 November, 2016
The eight week consultation on the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework – the proposals on where we are going to build hundreds of thousands of new homes across GM over the next 20 years – opens on Monday 31st October 2016.
Please make sure you have your say.
The consultation should appear here on Monday 31st October.
The Government has said that Stockport has to build around a thousand new homes every year for the next twenty years and this plan is the Greater Manchester Combined Authority first attempt to say where they should all go.
The Liberal Democrats believe our borough is in danger of becoming a target for developers and get-rich-quick land owners. The plan put forward by the ten Greater Manchester local authorities details a number of locations across the conurbation where new housing development could take place.
Although no definitive decisions have been made, the Lib Dem team is concerned that Stockport is already earmarked to take more than its fair share of new housing. When a call for potential sites was made earlier in the year the Greater Manchester Combined Authority reported that, of 640 sites identified across the city region, fully 20% (128) were in the Stockport borough – including several in the Green Belt.
Of particular concern locally is the plan for 4000 new homes between Hazel Grove and High Lane.
Make sure you have your say.

Yet more raping of the land. Do they plan to issue compulsory purchase orders as the map covers our property. We moved into our 17th century cottage on Windlehurst Rd., a year ago and were told by the Land Registry that there were no proposed plans for building on the green belt land next door to us even though the council had these proposals in 2014. Would they get away with this in Oxfordshire. We’re appalled by these plans and what about the wildlife
I really sympathise with you I used to walk the lanes where you are in the 1960,s with my dad go up to doodfield stores for an ice cream and never see a car.people in Hazel grove do not know generally that this is on the cards.can some sort of petition be started.i do remember around where you live was full of rabbits hedgehogs ,birds that you have probably never seen.
Disgusted at this proposal our way of life has gone 3 people now can stop the wishes of 17.4 million cannot say any more.

I live in Hazel Grove. So it now becomes clear why the new link road was forced across our green belt. Now we are to lose even more of it…. In fact all of it. We will just become a huge conurbation if these proposals go ahead. Where are the schools, GP’s, police, hospital facilities and public services that will support another 4000 families? Our services are already cut to the bone and over-stretched. The infrastructure is not there to cope with such a massive influx of new housing. The environment and green belt Wildlife is at risk, being further squeezed from its habitat. Are the public no longer allowed to enjoy our green spaces?? We are made to feel guilty or selfish for trying to protect the minimal countryside we have left around Stockport. These are the things that make life worth living, are good for well being and health. Once green belt is gone….It is gone FOREVER. It’s Atrocious that developers will be no doubt given free reign yet again to make a fast buck then move on, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Disillusioned is not the word!
The green belt is important to me, There will be more discontent, polution and danger given by seeing less greenery around us. Listen to us and not to the few who want to build more and more roads.
