Places for Everyone site allocation JPA1.1 Northern Gateway (Heywood/Pilsworth) is one of the largest strategic employment allocations in the country, straddling the districts of Bury and Rochdale and positioned at a strategically important intersection around the M60, M62 and M66 motorways. It represents a highly accessible opportunity for growth in Greater Manchester with wider benefits on a regional and national level.
Northern Gateway is an opportunity to deliver unprecedented investment, jobs, homes and community benefits. It will enable the delivery of a large, nationally significant employment opportunity to attract high quality businesses and investment on the M62 corridor coupled with a significant number of new homes and supporting services and facilities.
The Framework
Working collaboratively with landowners and stakeholders, Bury and Rochdale Councils have adopted the Northern Gateway Development Framework (NGDF).
The objective of this document is to provide more detailed information on how the site is likely to be developed through a high-level masterplan, that identifies broad development parcels and areas of the site that will be protected. The NGDF will also set out how new employment floorspace, housing and supporting infrastructure will be provided in a coordinated and phased approach.
The NGDF is a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and will be a material planning consideration when determining planning applications on the site.

Draft Infrastructure Phasing and Delivery Strategy
This version of the IPDS was published to accompany the Consultation stage draft of the NGDF SPD. The IPDS will be used as a basis for ongoing engagement with stakeholders. This draft strategy seeks to provide an agreed structure, identify currently known infrastructure requirements, identify important stakeholders that will support delivery and establish principles by which the Councils and stakeholders will be expected to operate in a coordinated manner to achieve the vision and objectives of the site. The IDPS is a living document and will be updated as new information becomes available.
