The aim of this jointly produced SPD is to provide guidance on, and to facilitate, the timely provision of required mitigation on a site in Warrington Borough Council’s administrative area, Holcroft Moss, within the Manchester Mosses Special Area of Conservation (SAC), see Appendix 1 for the location and extent of Holcroft Moss.
This SPD supplements PfE Policy JP-C8, in particular clause 17, which requires planning applications accompanied by a Transport Assessment to consider air quality impacts on Holcroft Moss.
This document has been adopted by the nine Places for Everyone (PfE) authorities (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan), following a six-week period of public consultation, held in November and December 2024.
Now adopted, the SPD is one of a number of documents constituting important material considerations in the determination of planning applications.
