Policy overview p.10 5. Policies p.12 6. Delivery plan p.31 7. Appendices p.xx 1. Introduction ACT NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2 1.1 The Neighbourhood Plan The Abram Communities Together Neighbourhood Plan covers the period 2018 to 2033. It enables local people to lead on shaping development in the area through a joint vision for the neighbourhood. The Localism Act of 2011 introduced the option of Neighbourhood Planning in England. A Neighbourhood Plan document is written by a town or parish council, or in urban areas a Neighbourhood Forum, to guide future development, regeneration and conservation of a particular area. This Plan is about how the land in Abram Ward will be used and developed and it contains planning policies and proposals for improving the area, plus the allocation of key sites for development. A Neighbourhood Plan is a legal planning document and needs to use a range of formal and technical terms; there is a detailed glossary of the terms used in this document in Appendix 1. There are a number of stages to successfully completing the process of undertaking a Neighbourhood Plan, these are: ● Designation of the plan area ● Designation of the Neighbourhood Forum ● Engaging with the community ● Writing the plan ● Consulting with the community ● Submitting the plan to the local authority for further consultation ● The plan is inspected by an independent planning examiner ● A local referendum is held to decide whether the plan should be adopted (more than 50% of those voting in the referendum must vote ‘yes’ in order to bring the plan into force).

Assessment of sites submitted during ‘Call for Sites’ consultation G. Site proformas - separate document Disclaimer The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment does not allocate land for residential development but provides evidence, alongside other studies, to inform the allocation of land through the Local Plan. It assesses whether sites are suitable for housing, provided they are not required for other purposes, in order to meet plan targets. It identifies constraints to development and considers how they might be overcome. The inclusion of a particular site in the assessment should not, therefore, be taken as an indication that it will be allocated or granted planning permission for housing or any other form of development. All future planning applications will be considered individually and will be assessed against policies in the development plan and National Planning Policy Framework. 3 2016 Wigan Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (December 2016) 1. Introduction and background 1.1 This is the Wigan Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 Update. It is a key component of the evidence base to support the delivery of sufficient land for housing; to meet the borough’s need for more homes; and to inform housing policies within the Wigan Local Plan, including the emerging Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).

  • School Bus Services in the Wigan Area
    School & College Bus Services in the Wigan area September 2016 to July 2017 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Wigan School Bus Timetables 2016/17 Page 1 of 36 17/08/2016 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare, although some journeys do have additional fare bands. Daily return tickets are available on many services. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. If a daily return ticket is available on TfGM funded services, students can also buy a weekly scholars ticket, which costs £6.50. These are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/Pages/back-to-school.aspx This timetable also shows journeys which are operated without funding from TfGM – these are known as commercial journeys.
