Minerals and Waste Development Framework

The Minerals and Waste Development Framework is a collection of documents that we use to make planning decisions. It consists of:

  • district and borough local plans
  • the Essex Minerals Local Plan 2014
  • the Essex and Southend Waste Local Plan 2017
  • the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme
  • the Statement of Community Involvement
  • the Authority Monitoring Report
  • Supplementary Planning Guidance and Documents
  • local development orders
