Local transport planning advice

Transport planning in Greater Manchester.

Greater Manchester combines shared transport objectives with ten borough highway authorities. Identify the borough, the relevant planning framework and any TfGM involvement before fixing the transport scope.

Local guidance

Separate city region strategy from borough requirements

The Greater Manchester Streets for All Design Guide provides a shared design reference. The Places for Everyone plan was adopted by nine councils in 2024; Stockport is outside that joint plan. Its policies should not be presented as applying to all ten boroughs.

For an urban scheme, begin with the street around the site: walking routes, crossings, cycle access, bus stop access and servicing space. A central location does not remove the need to demonstrate that the development can function safely and inclusively.

Where a scheme depends on a future public transport or street project, establish its delivery status and relationship to occupation. Keep committed works, aspirations and measures funded by the development distinct in the evidence.

What to establish before you commission

  • Confirm the borough and whether Places for Everyone applies.
  • Check borough parking requirements alongside relevant TfGM and street design guidance.
  • Resolve servicing and active travel connections before relying on reduced car parking.

Guidance reviewed 18 October 2026. Sources: Greater Manchester Streets for All Design Guide decision · Places for Everyone adoption and participating councils. Requirements can change; confirm the current documents for the site and application.

For an early budget, our Transport Statement cost guide explains the main fee drivers and the information needed for a quote.

The right contacts

Planning and highway responsibilities

All ten Greater Manchester boroughs. Stockport is expressly distinguished from the nine Places for Everyone authorities.

Local highway authorities within this guide: Manchester City Council, Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council, Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Salford City Council.

The council deciding the planning application, the authority responsible for a road and the owner of land needed for an improvement can be different. Establish all three. National Highways involvement depends on effects on the strategic road network; a county address alone does not determine the consultation scope.

Your project

Choose the work that answers the planning issue

Send the location plan, proposed use and scale, latest layout and any highway response. We will identify the work needed and quote for an agreed scope. Survey costs, officer discussions, drawings and revisions should be clear at the outset.
