The SPD seeks to provide further guidance on how criterion 17 (in particular) of Policy JP-C8 of the Places for Everyone (PfE) Plan will be implemented. Criterion 17 seeks to ensure new development does not have an adverse impact on the protected habitats and species of Holcroft Moss, which is within the Manchester Mosses Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The SPD is applicable to all nine PfE Plan local authority areas (excluding that part of Oldham within the Peak District National Park).
