Local residents are being invited to attend their local Area Committees and to learn more about the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) proposals.

The GMSF plan seeks to build 19,000 homes in the next two decades across Stockport, as well as bring new jobs and new infrastructure (such as transport links, utility networks, schools and health provision) required to achieve this.

Emma Curle, Chief Planning Officer, and Richard Wood, Technical Policy and Planning Manager, attended the meeting and made a presentation in respect of the consultation being undertaken by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework.

The Greater Manchester Spatial Framework was a joint development plan document which was being prepared by the ten local authorities in Greater Manchester. It would be a strategic plan which ensured that Greater Manchester protected and enhanced the current infrastructure and had the right land in the right places to deliver the homes and jobs needed up to 2035, along with identifying the new infrastructure required to achieve this. It aimed to ensure that Greater Manchester became as well known for the quality of its environment as for its economic success.

If adopted the plan would be the overarching development plan within which Greater Manchester’s ten local planning authorities could identify more detailed sites for jobs and homes in their own area. As such the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework would not cover everything that a Local Plan would cover and individual districts would continue to produce their own Local Plans.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

• The Greater Manchester Spatial Framework would only be recommended for adoption if it was supported by all ten local authorities in Greater Manchester.
• For the purposes of the proposed allocation of housing within the borough, no detailed work on the infrastructure necessary had been carried out at this stage.
• It was clarified by Officers that the framework was looking at forming sustainable communities rather than extending suburban areas.
• The type and density of accommodation would be assessed at a subsequent stage of the process.

RESOLVED – That Emma Curle and Richard Wood be thanked for their attendance and presentation

Representatives from Savy will attend the meeting in connection with an initiative which is seeking to tackle anti-social behaviour and motorcycle nuisance around the Brinnington, Reddish and Edgeley and Cheadle Heath areas.

Vicky Bloomfield (Manager) and Kenny Stenton (Youth Work Co-ordinator) from Stockport Action for Voluntary Youth (SAVY) attended the meeting to discuss their on-going youth work in the  Brinnington, Reddish Vale, Edgeley and Cheadle Heath areas, and in particular an initiative to deliver safe motorcross training. Referrals to the motorcross project would be open to all young people in the Central Stockport area who were engaging in illegal/anti-social use of motorbikes.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

 ·       

·         The aim of the motorcross project was to offer a diversionary activity for young people to divert them way from bike related anti-social behaviour and associated criminal behaviour, and teach them how to ride motorcross in a safe and supported  environment. Young people would be taught how to ride, repair and maintain motorcycles, and education would be delivered to the young people in a classroom environment of the consequences of illegal riding and the effect and impact it could have on local communities. Young people would also be taught mechanical skills to safely service, maintain and repair motorbikes,

·         A number of young people were not wearing helmets and endangering their safety.

·         A Member enquired whether it would be possible for SAVY to engage with the parents of the children who caused the anti-social behaviour.

·         Any permanent site for motorcross would have to be in a location where residents were unaffected by it.

RESOLVED – (1) That Vicky Bloomfield and  Kenny Stenton be thanked for their attendance.

(2) That the Chair of the Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee be requested to invite Stockport Action for Voluntary Youth to attend a future meeting of the Scrutiny Committee to outline their work.
