Waste Development FrameworkMinerals Development Framework

The purpose of the Waste Development Framework is to make sufficient land available in the most sustainable locations to enable waste operating companies to provide adequate facilities to dispose of waste in Warwickshire. Before the County Council can identify specific sites there has to be an agreed strategy that determines the broad approach to waste disposal.

Waste Development Framework - more information

The Preferred options stage of the consultation ended on 11th October 2006. The responses received will be considered in the preparation of the submission. Details of the timetable for the next stage of consultation will appear here shortly.


As a result of advice from Government Office West Midlands rather than moving towards submission it has been necessary to return to the issues and options stage and to consult on a number of revised spatial options. This consultation exercise will take place for a 6 week period commencing towards the end of June 2008. The Minerals and Waste Development Scheme
has been amended to reflect this change.

The purpose the Minerals Development Framework is to identify suitable locations for operating companies to develop appropriate sites for the extraction of minerals to meet the required demand and to sustain our quality of life
Before the County Council can identify specific sites there has to be an agreed strategy that determines the broad approach to minerals extraction.


Minerals Development Framework - more information

The Issues and Options stage of the consultation ended on the 8th September 2006. The next stage is the Preferred Options stage. The Preferred Options consultation ran from 31st January 2007 until 14th March 2007.

The Minerals Local Development Framework was temporarily put on hold after the preferred options stage following general advice from Communities and Local Government and the Planning Inspectorate that strategic sites should be included as part of the Core Strategy. Consequently the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme has been revised and it is now proposed that the minerals industry and landowners will be asked to suggest future potential sites over the summer of 2008. This will lead to a revised core strategy issues and options document identifying sites to be published for consultation in January 2009.

Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping Report

Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping Report

As part of the plan making process we must access the sustainability of the emerging development documents. The first stage in this is to produce a Scoping Report. This Scoping Report identifies relevant plans, programmes, and environmental protection objectives, captures baseline information and sustainability issues relating to both waste and minerals, identifies potential environmental problems and sustainability issues and develops the SA Framework against which Issues and Options for the respective Development Framework is assessed.

We consulted on the Scoping Report between December 2005 - February 2006. We updated the report to reflect the comments received during this period and consulting on the revised Scoping Report again. The consultation period ended on 19th May 2006.
