Consultation has concluded

Thank you for your contributions to the Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Preferred approach consultation.

We will continue to use this page to keep you informed about progress with the project.

This is what we asked you.


We want to know what you think of our draft plan. Lincolnshire's next plan aims to achieve high quality and modern minerals and waste developments that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, meet the needs of local communities and help protect and enhance our heritage and natural assets over the next 15 years.

The draft plan will guide the scale, location, design, size and layout of new minerals and waste development in Lincolnshire.

Alternatively, you can download a hard copy of the form and email it to mineralsandwaste@lincolnshire.gov.uk.

You are also invited to make comments on the supporting documents (including the sustainability appraisal and mineral site assessment).

If you wish to put forward a new or extended minerals site (sand, gravel and limestone aggregate), please download the separate site nomination form and email it to the above address.
