Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Preferred approach consultation

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.
