»Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ Minerals Local Plan (2018-2036)
The »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ Minerals Local Plan 2018 - 2036 (adopted July 2022) (PDF) sets out the Council's planning policies for mineral development. It guides:
- how much and what minerals we need to be able to supply
- where minerals should be extracted
- how sites should be worked and how they should be "restored" when working has finished
- how minerals development should ensure »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ's people and places are protected and enhanced
The Minerals Local Plan is part of the Development Plan and is used by »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ County Council’s planning officers and Planning and Regulatory Committee to make decisions about planning applications for mineral extraction, processing and restoration.
It is also used by the City, Borough and District Councils in »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ to ensure other types of development do not sterilise mineral resources or negatively impact mineral infrastructure.
