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
Two new Development Plan Documents have been adopted by Suffolk
County Council to replace the
Minerals Local Plan. This process is part of the Minerals
and Waste Development Framework (M&WDF) and provides a set of
Minerals Development Plan Documents to guide minerals planning
policy in the County up to 2021.
The two documents are
the
Minerals Core Strategy DPD, incorporating development control
policies, and the
Minerals Specific Site Allocations DPD together with
a Proposals Map.
