A plan earmarking sites for 225,000 new homes in Greater Manchester is set to be delayed amid a "radical rewrite" to help protect green belt land.
The next public consultation in the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) scheme was due in September but may not be published until summer 2018.
Regional mayor Andy Burnham promised to revise the plans following protests from affected communities.
The revised plans will be announced "in due course", the mayor's office said.
The GMSF scheme identifies sites for housing developments that may be built over the next 20 years.
