Composite Policies Map

Part of: Development Plan for Trafford

The Composite Policies Map shows how Trafford’s planning policies apply to specific areas of land.

It brings together designations from:

  • Places for Everyone (2024)
  • Trafford Core Strategy (2012)
  • Saved Unitary Development Plan (UDP) policies (2006)
  • Other adopted Development Plan documents

This map forms part of Trafford’s statutory Development Plan.

What the map shows

The map includes:

  • Housing and employment land allocations
  • Green Belt boundaries
  • Conservation areas
  • Town and local centre boundaries
  • Key transport routes
  • Protected open spaces and other land designations

How to use the map

It should always be read alongside the relevant Development Plan documents for full context.

Town centre inset maps

If a site falls within a town centre boundary (Altrincham, Sale, Stretford, or Urmston), you should also refer to the town centre inset maps. These show further policy designations specific to each centre.
