Review of the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan
The South Downs National Park Authority and its partner Authorities Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, New Forest National Park Authority (collectively known as the Hampshire Authorities), are working to produce a partial update to the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan which will guide minerals and waste decision making in the Plan Area up until 2040.
The partial update to the Plan will build upon the currently adopted Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (2013), providing new and updated policies based on up-to-date evidence of the current levels of provision for minerals and waste facilities in the Plan Area.
The Hampshire Authorities are inviting feedback from statutory consultees, stakeholders, communities, local organisations and businesses on the Draft Plan.
The Draft Plan Consultation will run for 12 weeks between the 8 November 2022 and 31 January 2023.
