PLAN: Land near Elton Reservoir has been earmarked for 3,500 homes
A MUCH-delayed masterplan for building new homes and creating jobs which is set to release green belt land for development in Bury has been published.
Places for Everyone, formed by nine out of the 10 Greater Manchester’s boroughs, will set out what land can be freed up for different kinds of development over the next 16 years.
This replaces the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF), abandoned last year after it failed to win the support of Stockport Council.
The plans for Bury, which remains similar to the previous draft of the GMSF, include a massive housing project at Elton Reservoir, where 3,500 homes are planned.
