Local Green Space Designation — Ryebank Fields

Campaign

Local Green Space

Local Green Space proposals for Ryebank Fields were submitted in 2020 and again in 2024 by Friends of Ryebank Fields, setting out why the site meets the criteria for designation under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Despite the evidence demonstrating the site's importance to the local community, Manchester City Council's Executive Committee voted in July 2026 to exclude Ryebank Fields from the list of proposed Local Green Space sites in the draft Local Plan.

Please see below our recent correspondence to Manchester City Council's Planning Strategy team outlining our concerns about the justifications used to exclude Ryebank Fields from the list of Local Green Spaces.
