1. Call for brownfield sites 2021
As part of the work being done to prepare a new blueprint for new homes and jobs across Stockport (Local Plan), we d like you to put forward brownfield sites that could be suitable for development.
The Local Plan will have to show that there s enough land to meet development needs from now until 2038.

GIVEN that many landowners have a utility apparatus of some sort crossing their land, it is vital that the land occupier knows their rights when it comes to utility companies taking access for repairs, maintenance, renewals, or new schemes, says Katie Proctor of H&H Land & Estates. Electricity power lines, water, sewer and gas pipelines all form utility apparatus benefitting from a range of statutory powers to enter private land. As Katie emphasises, acts such as the Electricity Act 1989, Water Industry Act 1991 and the Gas Act 1986 are in place to convey key details. “Where statutory powers exist that allow a third party to require right in or over land, the owner/occupier has the legal entitlement to make a claim for compensation. The cost of being professionally represented is also part of the claimant’s claim. What this means is that when your agent is working on your behalf and representing you during the entire claim process, it should not cost you anything.”
