Role of Supplementary Planning Document
To supplement policies dealing with designated sites of
ecological importance by identifying the issues, threats and
opportunities relating to the conservation and enhancement of the
natural environment. It will provide practical guidance on how
development proposals should assess impact and scope for mitigation
and how habitats / feature should be managed, and how developments
and landscaping can be designed and managed to create new habitats
and increase wildlife value. This will link with the Greater
Manchester Biodiversity Action Plan which will be endorsed by GM
