What is Homes Spaces Places?

Homes, Spaces, Places (HSP) is Tameside Council’s Local Plan, complementing the Greater Manchester Places for Everyone strategy. It sets out a long-term vision and planning framework for Tameside up to 2042, focusing on:

Housing: Delivering suitable and affordable homes.
Jobs & Economy: Supporting growth and vibrant town centres.
Transport: Improving travel and reducing congestion.
Environment: Responding to climate change and protecting biodiversity.
Places & Heritage: Enhancing character and identity.
Community Infrastructure: Health, education, and social facilities.

The plan allocates land for development and protection, establishes detailed policies, and ensures infrastructure delivery.

Please Note

This consultation is being held under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning Regulations 2012.

A copy of your representation(s) will be shared with an Independent Planning Inspector, appointed by the Secretary of State, who will hold an Independent Examination to consider the Local Plan.

The Inspector will be mainly concerned about whether the council has followed the correct legal process and whether the plan is "sound".

In addition, your representation will be published on the Tameside Council’s website (personal details will first be redacted in line with our Privacy Notice).
