Any representation or objection relating to the order must be sent in writing to the Environment Group Solicitor, Spindles Shopping Centre, West Street, Oldham, OL1 1LF or by email to alan.evans@oldham.gov.uk before 19 January 2026, and should state the grounds on which it is made.
If no representations or objections are duly made to the order, or to any part of it, or if any so made are withdrawn, the Oldham Council, instead of submitting the order to the Secretary of State (or part of it if the authority has by notice to the Secretary of State so elected under paragraph 5 of Schedule 15 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) may itself confirm the order (or that part of the order). If the order is submitted to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in whole or in part, any representations or objections which have been duly made and not withdrawn will be sent with it.
Dated 5 December 2025
