Consultation on the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework will be delayed until October following the publication of new official population figures.
The GMSF is to be Greater Manchester’s masterplan to meet housing and employment needs over the next 20 years, and its latest draft was due to be published next month.
However, new figures are predicting a lower growth in the GM population than originally forecast, and new official Government figures relating to the housing numbers required in Greater Manchester are due to come out in September.
