Salford’s Local Plan Development Management and Designations Document (SLP:DMP) falls under this duty. 1.3 This statement outlines the collaborative working that has taken place throughout the production of the Local Plan with the aim of producing a plan that effectively addresses the variety of issues that may be faced by the city over the next 20 years. In doing so, this statement also demonstrates how the city council has met its duty to cooperate. 1.4 A separate statement of common ground relating to the Duty to Cooperate has also been published in support of the Publication Local Plan, demonstrating agreements around the specific strategic issues relevant to the Local Plan. A separate consultation statement, detailing all formal stages of consultation on the Local Plan, has also been published. 1.5 The scope of the SLP:DMP has been narrowed from the versions of the Local Plan that preceded it. Prior to the publication of the SLP:DMP, four stages of consultation were undertaken, which all related to a full Salford Local Plan, before the scope of the document was reduced (see section 3 for further details of these stages). 1.6 The SLP:DMP focuses specifically on providing development management policies and identifying designations. Policies in relation to the scale and distribution of development, and allocations for particular types of development, will be addressed through a separate Salford Local Plan Core Strategy and Allocations Document (SLP:CS) and the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF). 1.7 The strategic issues, as defined under the duty to cooperate, addressed by the latest version are therefore similarly reduced from earlier versions of the plan. Nevertheless, as the duty relates to the process of plan preparation this statement addresses the strategic issues and relevant cooperation associated with Salford’s Local Plan throughout the process to date. 1.8 This Compliance Statement, and the Statement of Common Ground referred to above, will be updated following the end of the formal consultation period on the SLP:DMP, and updated versions of these documents will be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination. 5 2.0 The Duty to Cooperate 2.1 Section 33A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as inserted by section 110 of the Localism Act 2011, introduced a duty to cooperate in relation to the planning of sustainable development. 2.2 The duty requires the city council to cooperate with other local planning authorities and other public bodies in preparing and developing development plan documents and other local development documents so far as it relates to a strategic matter.1 2.3 In this regard, the city council and others are required to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis. The national planning policy framework (NPPF) states that “strategic policy-making authorities should collaborate to identify the relevant strategic matters which they need to address in their plans.” 2 2.4 A strategic matter is defined as “sustainable development or use of land that has or would have a significant impact on at least two planning areas, including (in particular) sustainable development or use of land for or in connection with infrastructure that is strategic and has or would have a significant impact on at least two planning areas.”3 2.5 The NPPF states that “effective and on-going joint working between strategic policy-making authorities and relevant bodies is integral to the production of a positively prepared and justified strategy.”4 2.6 The public bodies identified as part of the duty to cooperate, in addition to local planning authorities, are5: Environment Agency The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England (known as Historic England) Natural England Mayor of London (unlikely to be a relevant consultee for the majority of strategic issues for Salford) Civil Aviation Authority Homes and Communities Agency Each clinical commissioning group established under section 14D of the National Health Service Act 2006 (Salford Clinical Commissioning Group) 1 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, section 33A(3) and NPPF 2019 paragraph 24. 2 DCLG (February 2019) National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 25 3 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2001, section 33A(4)(a) 4 DCLG (February 2019) National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 26 5 The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning)(England) Regulations 2012, part 2, regulation 4, as amended by the National Treatment Agency (Abolition) and the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (Consequential, Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2013 6 NHS England (formerly the National Health Service Commissioning Board) Office of Rail and Road Highways England Transport for London (unlikely to be a relevant consultee for of strategic issues for Salford) Integrated Transport Authorities (Transport for Greater Manchester) Highway Authorities (Salford City Council and Highways England) Marine Management Organisation 2.7 In addition, regard must also be had to the activities of the Local Enterprise Partnership6 (Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership) and the Local Nature Partnership7, so far as they are relevant to plan making8. 2.8 National guidance describes that “all parties should approach the duty in a proportionate way, tailoring cooperation according to where they can maximise the effectiveness of plans”9. It is therefore appropriate to focus engagement where it will delivery most benefit. In the context of the collaborative working across Greater Manchester, as detailed further in the sections below, it is not therefore necessary to duplicate through Salford specific meetings, discussions relating to strategic issues dealt with appropriately at that level. 2.9 The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 require that details of activities undertaken in relation to the duty to cooperate are recorded and published in a monitoring report10.

    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.

Trafford Council welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Regulation 18 Stage 1 Plan Consultation (Scope and contents) in terms of what a local plan ought to consider and the proposed scope of the review. Having reviewed the documents, Trafford Council does not have any specific comments to make at this stage of the review process. However, Trafford Council would welcome the opportunity to work with Warrington Borough Council in the future to ensure that the Warrington Local Plan is complementary to both the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) and the Trafford Local Plan. In particular, it will be important for our local authorities, and Salford, to work together in relation to one of the GMSF’s most significant proposals, The Western Gateway Strategic location (Policy SL5). This is identified as a nationally significant series of major development opportunities, which will be brought forward in an area extending westwards from the Quays along the Manchester Ship Canal and the M62 motorway, and which forms part of a larger growth corridor stretching westwards through Warrington to Liverpool.
