On 2 July 2026, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government issued a letter from Minister of State for Housing and Planning Matthew Pennycook MP to Stockport Council. The letter requires the council to update its Local Development Scheme to include specified dates, amending a previous direction issued on 16 September 2025. The updated scheme must be submitted in accordance with the minister’s instructions. The communication is part of the government’s oversight of local planning processes and reflects ongoing regulatory responsibilities. Stockport Council is expected to comply with the new timetable to ensure its development plans remain in line with national housing and planning objectives.
