We are responsible for dealing with all minerals planning
matters. This includes:
- authorising planning applications for mineral extraction
related development;
- monitoring of sites for compliance with planning
conditions;
preparation and implementation of planning policies to control
minerals matters; and
- taking enforcement action against unauthorised
development.

Minerals Planning Policy
The new national planning system requires the replacement of the
existing
Minerals Local Plan with a Minerals and Waste Development
Framework (M&WDF). This process has commenced in Suffolk and
will include a set of Minerals Development Plan Documents to guide
minerals planning in the county for the next 15 years.
Consultation
The first stage in producing the new Minerals and Waste Development
Framework is to review the current
Suffolk Minerals Local Plan. Three main documents will be
produced: the
Minerals Core Strategy DPD, the
Minerals Specific Site Allocations DPD and the Proposals
Map.
The Minerals Core Strategy was submitted to the Secretary of State
by Suffolk County Council on 22 October 2007. For more details
