Strategic planning
Plans and policies for the future local development of Trafford
Information on how we plan for the future development of Trafford. Plan making involves guiding new development to appropriate locations, while protecting our natural environment and built heritage, and provides guidance to developers on submitting planning applications
If you are interested in self or custom building a property in Trafford, our self and custom build register can help you.
The register will give us an indication of the level of demand for self/custom build in the borough and will help us to identify suitable sites for development.
As part of the preparation of planning documents, we regularly consult with the public. Details of all of our current Strategic Planning consultations are set out in this section.
The GMSF will be the overarching framework within which the ten local planning authorities identify and manage the supply of land for jobs and new homes in Greater Manchester.
