We are responsible for the production, monitoring and review of a minerals and waste local plan.
Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan
The current plan consists of two parts:
- Core strategy and development management policies - this outlines the principles for the future winning and working of minerals and the form of waste management. It also provides the criteria under which we consider minerals and waste development applications
- Site locations - this includes specific proposals and policies for the provision of land for mineral and waste development
Review of the Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan
An in-depth review of the Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan has been undertaken, assessing whether the policies remain relevant and effective. The review concludes that while many of the policies are performing well, the whole plan would benefit from being updated.
Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan update
In 2021, we resolved to update the Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan.
Progress on this work and details of how and when you can get involved are set out on the updating the minerals and waste local plan page.
The timetable for preparing the new plan is set out in the Lincolnshire minerals and waste development scheme.
The statement of community involvement outlines how we plan to involve and consult the public and stakeholders when preparing this plan and deciding planning applications.
Monitoring and assessments
Monitoring reports are prepared to assess the performance of the Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan.
To plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates, we produce annual local aggregate assessments.
The latest waste needs assessment covers Lincolnshire's future waste management requirements to the end of 2045.
