Greater Manchester has a long and proud history of density in accessible locations.

Introduction
Welcome to the first instalment of our A-Z of Greater Manchester Planning, serving as a go-to for anyone working within, or with an interest in, the Greater Manchester property market.
Our A-Z of Planning series was created as a result of feedback received from our key clients and partners. We identified a general need in the market for an all-encompassing, easy-to-read and accessible document, covering key planning information.
Following the successful launch of our A-Z of London Planning, analysing the 33 London boroughs back in September 2018, we have now widened our analysis to focus on Greater Manchester. Work is also under way to produce similar documents for Birmingham and Leeds.
Using data taken from government departments, the combined authority and multiple other sources, as well as local insights from our team of in-house specialists, this Greater Manchester directory has been designed as a visual overview of the demographic, socioeconomic and planning traits defining each of the ten boroughs, and the combined authority area as a whole.
The document covers topics such as housing delivery, planning performance, population change and planning policy – all of which can be benchmarked against other UK cities. Since statistics are continually changing, this guide represents a snapshot of policies and statistics in time, rather than a definitive record. We have used indicators and data that we feel most accurately represent each of the boroughs. Our methodology and sources are explained in the Sources chapter (page 48). We plan to update and reissue this guide annually.
The information within this report was collated and produced prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, therefore may not fully depict today’s housing and economic data, but does provide a baseline for the pre-COVID 19 situation. 2
