The Local Plan

How we use the Local Plan

The Local Plan sets out how we will plan the future development in Rochdale borough.

It guides new developments to appropriate locations while protecting our natural environment and built heritage.

The local plan is made up of several plans and policies addressing different areas of development. Through these, we can plan for the developments and infrastructure you need in the borough.

The Local Plan helps us deliver:

  • More housing and affordable homes
  • Leisure and commercial developments
  • Infrastructures, such as roads and schools
  • More jobs
