If the Order is made, the stopping-up will be authorised only in order to enable the development described in the Schedule to this notice to be carried out in accordance with the planning permission granted to Mosscare Housing Limited by Manchester City Council on 11 January 2002, under Ref 063631/FO/NORTH2/01. Copies of the draft Order and relevant plan may be inspected, at all reasonable hours during the 28 days commencing on 15 November 2002, at Manchester City Council, Town Hall, Manchester and may be obtained, free of charge, from the Government Office for the North West (Transport) (quoting Ref GO/TNW 5082/35/1/110) at the address stated below.
