Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council are currently in the process of reviewing their joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan in order to produce a new Minerals and Waste Local Plan which will set out policy for minerals and waste development up to 2036. As part of this process the two councils have sought representations for the allocation of new minerals sites.
PDE recently submitted a number of representations on behalf of several of our clients, including SRC and Land Logical, identifying suitable sites for the extraction of minerals and subsequent disposal of inert waste for restoration.
The identification of these sites is crucial to safeguard the supply of minerals in the coming decades, supporting continued demand within the aggregates industry.
