Essex, Replacement Essex Minerals Local Plan

Essex County Council

Notice of public participation in the Review of a Minerals Local Plan Extension of Consultation period -29 May to 24 July Replacement Essex Minerals Local Plan, 2025-2040 (Regulation 18)

The Essex Local Minerals Plan (MLP) was adopted in July 2014. The Plan provides planning policies for minerals development in Essex until 2029 and identifies future sites for mineral extraction.

Public consultation on the Minerals Local Plan, 52 Candidate Sites for future mineral extraction and their associated evidence base was held from 6 February to 9 April 2024.

Following the end of the consultation, it was found that Candidate Site A83 - Colemans Farm (Hole Farm) had been omitted from the List of Candidate Sites' webpage. The above consultation has therefore been extended. All consultation documents and information on how to respond can be found online at www.essex.gov.uk/minerals-review-extension. Free internet can be accessed at your local library.

Please note that all consultation documents, other than a site assessment summary for Site A83, are identical to those previously consulted upon between February to April 2024. Comments made in relation to other sites, unless directly linked to Site A83, will not be taken into account. There is no need to re-submit comments.
