It is a high-level, statutory planning document that will set strategic policies covering growth, housing, employment, infrastructure, the environment, and transport.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority is therefore undertaking an expression of interest for the following:
- Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) on the forthcoming Greater Manchester Spatial Development Strategy, comprising of:
- Sustainability Appraisal (SA) incorporating the requirements of a Strategic Environmental Assessment)
- Health Impact Assessment (HIA); and
