Updating the minerals and waste local plan
We are updating the minerals and waste local plan to guide the future provision of minerals and waste development across Lincolnshire. The updated Plan will replace both parts of the adopted Plan and cover the period to 2042.
Previous Stages
The Plan has undergone two formal consultation stages under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (2012 Regulations) to date, an Issues and Options consultation in mid 2022 and a Preferred Approach consultation in mid 2024. These previous consultations can be found on the Let’s Talk Lincolnshire consultation portal.
Current Stage
Consultation on the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Proposed Submission Version, in accordance with Regulation 19 (of the 2012 Regulations), is now taking place between 15 June 2026 and 5pm on 31 July 2026.
This is your final chance to comment on the emerging Minerals and Waste Local Plan before it is sent to the Secretary of State for independent examination.
Further information on the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Proposed Submission Version, supporting documents and advice on how to make representations, is on our consultation portal at Let’s Talk Lincolnshire.
