Greater Manchester's Places for Everyone plan found sound

Released On 26th Feb 2024

The proposed 'sub regional' plan for the Greater Manchester Area has been found sound by the Examination Panel. Three Dragons have supported the Greater Manchester Combined Authority for a number of years on viability matters relating to the Plan and are pleased to see the Plan found sound including the supporting evidence on viability produced by the Three Dragons team. The Inspector's Report notes that "The viability assessments carried out during the preparation of the Plan were proportionate and consistent with national policy and guidance. Costs associated with meeting all relevant policy requirements and mitigations were factored in...... Overall, we are satisfied that there is a reasonable prospect that each of the allocations will be available and could be viably developed during the plan period (continuing, in some cases, beyond 2039)."
