Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council are now consulting on the next stage in the preparation of the Minerals Local Plan.
We are grateful for the comments that people provided during previous consultations, and these have been taken into account, along with all other relevant information, in developing this Proposed Draft version of the Plan – the next stage in the development of this Plan. The Plan sets out strategic priorities for mineral development through its Vision and Objectives and strategic policies to deliver sustainable minerals development and to ensure the supply of important minerals, including the identification of sites for mineral working. It also contains a set of draft policies which will be used to assess and determine new proposals for mineral development. More »
Since the previous consultation was undertaken on sand and gravel issues in 2020, an additional site has been put forward by a mineral operator for sand and gravel extraction near Sudbury, which we are proposing to include in the Plan as an allocated site for working.
We are now writing to you because you have provided comments on the Plan during the course of its preparation or have asked to be kept updated on its progress. We are inviting comments on this document for a period of eight weeks. We would welcome any further comments you may have on the Plan at this stage. All comments should be received by 29 April 2022.
The easiest and quickest way to read the papers and then submit your responses is to use our electronic consultation system, which is at the following web address; https://derbyshire.gov.uk/mineralslocalplan
You can also email comments to Planning.Wastemin@derbyshire.gov.uk

All comments and suggestions provided will be used to develop the Plan further. The next stage of plan consultation, anticipated later this year, is the Regulation 19 Publication Plan which is the Plan that will be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for Examination in Public. When adopted, the Minerals Local Plan will provide the main policy guidance for assessing planning applications for minerals developments in Derbyshire and Derby. » Less
