Minerals Planning Policy

The Council's current policies are set out in 全国探花 Minerals Local Plan and this was adopted on 14 July 2022.
The council has published the Minerals Local Plan and the accompanying Sustainability Appraisal (see 鈥Background documents, assessments and appraisals: Statutory Assessments鈥).
