The Minerals Development Document: Site Allocations Issues and Options paper (August 2011) wason consultation from 25 August 2011 to 20 October 2011. Consultation responses can be viewed at http://consult.essexcc.gov.uk.

 

The MDD is required by central Government to plan for a steady and adequate supply of minerals in Essex to meet the County’s current and future needs to 2028. Before producing a final document the MDD goes through a number of stages. 

 

The Minerals Development Document Preferred Approach Paper was consulted on between the 9 December 2010 and 17 February 2011. The document set out the preferred strategy, criteria and sites to meet our mineral needs, and was developed after feedback from earlier consultations in 2005 and 2009.

 

Your views will help inform the next stage, the Submission document consultation, due to take place during 2012.
