Trafford Local Plan: Land Allocations
The Land Allocations Plan was to be the principal means by which the objectives defined in the Core Strategy would be translated onto the ground. The Council consulted on a full draft of the Land Allocations Plan for 6 weeks from 3 February 2014 to 17 March 2014.
On 25 March 2015, the Council's Executive agreed to delay the production of the Land Allocations Plan until such time that the production of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework is further advanced.
