The Government has rejected Oldham Council’s attempts to leave Greater Manchester’s Places for Everyone Scheme
In a letter to the council the Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook said: “On the basis of the information you have provided, I have determined not to use the Secretary of State’s discretionary powers to approve your requested revocation of Oldham’s sections of PfE. …
The council had earlier this year voted to leave the scheme after opposition councillors forced a vote on the issue
However added the Housing Minister
“PfE is an example of authorities doing the right thing – adopting a robust local plan only a year ago, which reflects strong cooperation between authorities across the plan area, including cross-boundary allocations such as the Stakehill site that Oldham shares with a neighbouring authority.
