Following the adoption of the Places for Everyone Joint Plan (PfE) on 21 March 2024, the Council is now moving forward with a new Local Plan for Bury.

What is a Local Plan?

A Local Plan is prepared to guide and manage future growth and development (such as housing, offices, industry, warehousing and retail). It contains planning policies that will be used as the basis for determining planning applications and identifies sites where this development should be built as well as areas where development should be restricted.

Bury's Local Plan

The new Bury Local Plan will form part of a set of documents that will together form Bury's overall development plan. The development plan for Bury will ultimately comprise of:

the Bury Local Plan;

the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan (PfE);

the Greater Manchester Joint Waste Plan; and

the Greater Manchester Joint Minerals Plan.

The recently adopted PfE Plan was jointly prepared by nine Greater Manchester districts, including Bury. This plan establishes the strategic planning framework within which the nine districts will prepare Local Plans. Some of major strategic decisions relating to Bury's future growth and development have already been made through the PfE Plan. For example, it identifies future needs for housing and employment floorspace, allocates strategic sites to help meet these needs and identifies a revised Green Belt boundary.

Bury's Local Plan will provide a more detailed set of locally-specific planning policies to complement PfE. Given that both PfE and the Local Plan will be key parts of Bury's development plan, there is clearly a need for consistency between the two. In particular, the Local Plan will need to incorporate and reflect the levels of growth and the strategic policy approach set out in PfE.

Early Engagement on the Local Plan

As an early stage in the preparation of the Local Plan, we invited comments on what the Local Plan ought to contain, the scope of the Integrated Appraisal and issued a Call for Sites over a six-week period from 25 March to 6 May 2024.

We will give detailed consideration to all comments made and sites suggested as we move forward with the preparation of a Draft Local Plan.

Regulation 18 Notification

Under Regulation 18(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning)(England) Regulations 2012, notice was given that Bury Council is proposing to prepare a new Local Plan to replace the existing saved policies of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.

Integrated Assessment scoping

An Integrated Assessment (IA) will also be undertaken to inform the Local Plan. The IA will incorporate the statutory requirements of Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessments, with an Equalities Impact Assessment and Health Impact Assessment also included. This will ensure that sustainability, health and equality issues are taken fully into consideration throughout plan preparation. As an early stage in the IA process, we sought views on the intended scope of the IA to help us to understand which environmental, social and economic effects of the plan are considered to be relevant.

As part of Bury's Live Well Service offer with the help from our amazing Volunteer Walk Leaders, over the past ten years Bury: Walk with Me has been able to build and extend our short-led walk offer to include walks on most days of the week in Bury, Summerseat, Greenmount, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Ainsworth, Chesham, Birtle and Elton.

We have 10 weekly walks that can be seen in the below link https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/wellbeing-walks-groups/ramblers-wellbeing-walks-bury

So, whether you are a complete beginner wanting to get more active and explore your local greenspace or simply feel that you would benefit from walking in a group environment with like-minded individuals, why not take a look at what we have to offer and join us on a walk near you!

Please note: Bury Walk with Me Wellbeing Walks are short-led walks led by trained volunteers across Bury and are part of the Bury Live Well Service offer, specifically under the Sport and Physical Activity Team.

They have replaced what were 'Walking for Health' walks (which have now been decommissioned) though they are still led in partnership with the Ramblers who govern the scheme/partnership.
