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 2041.
Preferred approach to waste and minerals
We are seeking your views on the latest stage of the Lincolnshire minerals and waste local plan. The consultation commences on Tuesday 30 July 2024 and runs until 5pm on Tuesday 24 September 2024.
The consultation sets out our preferred approach to the future planning of minerals and waste in Lincolnshire. This includes a full suite of policies and a series of mineral aggregate sites to meet future requirements.
As part of this consultation, we are inviting further site nominations from:
- landowners
- developers
- other interested parties
These will be considered as potential mineral allocations in the updated plan (sand, gravel and limestone aggregate).
Comments are also invited on:
- the sustainability appraisal (which assesses the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of the plan)
- other supporting background documents, including the site selection assessment
The preferred approach consultation document takes account of the feedback from the previous issues and options consultation (June to August 2022) and the latest evidence.
Further details on how to respond to this consultation are set out in our consultation portal at Let's Talk Lincolnshire.
What happens next?
Your insights and feedback on this consultation will be used to help us prepare the final draft plan.
