submitted, the Mineral Sites Plan and Waste Plan will be subjected to an
independent examination to be conducted by the Planning Inspectorate. This is
likely to take place in September 2018. Further details about the hearing sessions
will be made available on the DCC website once a date has been confirmed.
The Mineral Sites Plan identifies specific locations for sand and gravel, crushed
rock, ball clay, Purbeck Stone, other building stone and a site for the provision of
recycled aggregates. An aggregates area of search is also proposed which will
facilitate additional supply, providing certain criteria are met. In addition, the Plan
also proposes the allocation of the Puddletown Road Policy Area, facilitating
better integrated mineral working and longer-term, improved management of
mineral sites, after extraction is finished and they have been restored.
The Waste Plan, once adopted, will establish the vision, objectives and spatial
strategy for the development of waste management facilities in Bournemouth,
Dorset and Poole up to 2033. The Waste Plan contains thirteen site allocations for
new and improved waste management facilities to meet the needs of
Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole. In addition, the Plan contains a series of detailed
policies that will be used when determining future planning applications for waste
development.
