Current Minerals and Waste Policy
 |
The Waste
Core Strategy is used by the County Council to determine
applications for waste management development. Some of the policies
also apply to other types of development.
The Waste Core Strategy was found sound on 20th July 2012 and was
adopted by Full Council on 15th November 2012.
|
 |
The saved policies in the Structure
Plan set out the County's planning policies
relating to minerals, alongside other policies which will be
replaced over time by the City, Borough and District Planning
policies. |
 |
The adopted Minerals Local Plan sets out saved
policies relating to mineral development in Worcestershire.
We are now preparing new Minerals Local Plan.
|
 |
The Statement of Community
Involvement sets out how we will involve the public and other
stakeholders in Minerals and Waste Planning. |

An Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is produced by
the council every financial year. Its purpose is to assess the
effectiveness of the Council's existing planning policies and
progress in preparing new Minerals and Waste Planning Policy
