As legally required, the plan is in two parts.

• Part One: comprises general background to the Borough; other relevant national, regional and local policies and strategies; the key directions and objectives of the plan as well as strategic Part One policies.


• Part Two: contains policies and detailed proposals for the use of land including policies for development control. This part of the plan shows Part One policies in bold, upper case type and Part Two policies in bold, lower case type. Explanations for both the Part One and Part Two policies justifying their inclusion in the Plan and giving further information are also included in Part Two.

Adopted Plan – High Court Challenge.

The UDP Review was adopted on 31st May 2006. The challenge seeks to quash Policy TCG4.4 Land North of Water Street of the UDP Review pursuant to Section 287 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). Satnam Investments Limited is seeking to quash policy TCG4.4 in so far as it relates to land North of Water Street, Portwood, Stockport. The Challenge was made on the 11th July 2006. The challenge does not seek to quash any other part of the UDP Review.

ERRATUM: Appendix 9 - Parking Standards
It has come to our attention that an error was contained within Appendix 9 of the Stockport UDP Review. This error was only included in the final published document and therefore played no part in either the Inspector's consideration of the plan or the Council's resolution to adopt it.
It you already hold a printed copy of the UDP Review you will shortly be sent a replacement page for that on which the error occurs.
The copy of Appendix 9 under 'Related Items' to the right of this page has been updated to show the corrected version.
