Minerals and waste

We are updating the minerals and waste local plan to guide the future provision of minerals and waste development across Lincolnshire. The updated plan will replace both parts of the adopted plan and cover the period to 2041.

Preferred approach to the planning of waste and minerals

We invited interested parties to share their views on our preferred approach between July and September 2024.

Consultation included feedback on a full mix of policies and a series of mineral aggregate sites to meet future requirements, including:

• the sustainability appraisal, which assessed the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of the plan
• other supporting background documents, including the site assessment

We invited further site nominations (sand, gravel and limestone aggregate) from:

• landowners
• developers
• other interested parties

We are considering the responses to this consultation and will report on the next steps, including any updates to the timetable, in due course. Further information is on our consultation portal at Let's Talk Lincolnshire.
