What is the Local Plan?

We have a once in a generation opportunity as we develop our new Local Plan to make sure it is the right plan for Stockport, by Stockport.

Our Local Plan will set out the vision for future development in the borough. It will be used to help make decisions on planning applications and other planning related matters for the next 15 years. The plan is a guide to what can be built where.

The plan will help us achieve the vision of the One Stockport One Future plan and the One Stockport Borough plan, in which:

  • the people of Stockport and their communities are at the heart of what we do
  • Stockport is a great place to live, where no one is left behind
  • Stockport is growing, creating and delivering a thriving future
