The Local Planning Authorities undertook a public consultation. Any comments in relation to the application were considered by the relevant Local Planning Authority in determining the application and the associated Decision Notice and planning conditions.
The A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road was taken to the following Planning Committee’s in each local authority:
