Local plan - minerals

Minerals are an essential part of our day-to-day to lives. The bricks in our homes, the pavements in our towns and the shops we visit all rely on minerals in their construction. Demand for minerals places extra pressure on our local environment. This is where the Minerals Local Plan comes in.

The Minerals Local Plan aims to strike a balance between society's needs for minerals and the need to protect our local environment. Every Council in the UK has a legal duty to publish a Minerals Local Plan.
