Adopted Minerals Local Plan
As the Minerals Planning Authority, we must produce a Minerals Local Plan which guides minerals development in Nottinghamshire.
Following public consultation and examination by an independently appointed Planning Inspector, the council adopted the Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan [PDF] on 25 March 2021.
The Minerals Local Plan covers the period to 2036 and sets out:
- How much mineral we are likely to need
- Site specific allocations to meet identified demand and
- A range of planning policies which proposed minerals development will be assessed against.
An online interactive version of the Adopted Mineral Local Plan Policies Map, including all allocated sites and mineral safeguarding areas, can be viewed on our Interactive Minerals Policies Map.
Preparing a new Minerals Local Plan
The Local Planning Regulations (2026) requires all authorities with Plans over 5 years old to prepare a new Plan.
As the Minerals Local Plan was adopted in 2021, we are now required to prepare a new Minerals Local Plan.
The Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan (2021) is still the current adopted plan. We will use its policies to assess all mineral development applications until a new Minerals Local Plan is adopted. We expect this to happen in late 2029.
