Proposals for housing and employment on brown field land were approved by Rochdale Council’s cabinet on Tuesday.
The plans show sites for new housing development to deliver at least 460 additional homes a year until 2028, and 210 hectares of employment development.
The plans are part of the council’s core strategy and not part of the wider Greater Manchester Spatial Framework, which aims to deliver homes and jobs needed in the region.
The rewritten second draft of the GMSF will go before council leaders of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on Friday (27 July).
A six-week public consultation about the core strategy proposals will begin on 1 September.
The consultation will also show if the sites have submitted planning permission or had it approved.
