Milkstone, Deeplish and Newbold SPD - June 2010

This consultation has now finished.

Rochdale Borough Council with other partners and stakeholders are working together to regenerate the Milkstone, Deeplish and Newbold area which is one of the Council's Sustainable Communities areas.

A draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared by the Council to:

  • Convey the vision for this area as an important part of the town, with unique features and opportunities that can assist in developing its strategically important role between the town centre and Kingsway Business Park;
  • Provide advice and interpretation of policies within the Unitary Development Plan and emerging Core Strategy and how they relate to this area;
  • Promote the area to investors and developers in order to bring about high quality development that can help regenerate the area;
  • Provide a framework which will help decision making by funding agencies about bids and schemes that may come forward;
  • Set a context for agreeing priorities for regeneration, including further masterplanning and more detailed site planning / development briefs;
  • Be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications for development in the area; and
  • Support compulsory purchase where necessary.

This document is a draft for consultation with the public and stakeholders and it will be revised in response to consultation before being adopted by the Council.

We want your views on the document, its purpose, format and content.
