Planning Update
Application Ref:
143413/FO/2025
On 17 February 2026, Manchester City Council (MCC) confirmed that our community-led and community-funded planning application to protect Ryebank Fields as a woodland and meadow was ready to be considered by the Planning Committee.
Since then, we have made several requests to MCC seeking clarification on the timetable and confirmation of the committee meeting date at which our application will be determined. Below is a copy of our most recent email to Julie Roscoe, Director of Planning, Building Control and Licensing at MCC.
As soon as the Planning Committee date is confirmed, we will share the details on our website and social media channels.
Thank you once again for your patience, encouragement, and continued support. Your commitment to protecting Ryebank Fields remains invaluable, and we will keep you updated as soon as further information becomes available.
