On July 28 councillors within our borough will vote to decide whether Bury MBC adopts the Places for Everyone plan. This is a decision of incredible importance and will impact the lives of everyone who lives within Bury up to 2037 and beyond. One consequence of successfully adopting Places for Everyone will be the loss of significant areas of green belt and this as we all know is a matter of deep concern to thousands of my constituents. The Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) and its successor, Places for Everyone, are predicated on the myth that councils within the city region are being forced to use 2014 population projections to calculate future housing need and on this basis, there are insufficient brownfield sites to accommodate such a large number of new homes.
