Minerals Development Plan Document

The Minerals Development Plan Document will replace the current Minerals Local Plan, and will review all the policies and proposals set out in the adopted Plan. It will be prepared under the new planning system, and will therefore be a spatial plan, incorporating economic, social and environmental issues as well as setting out a land use planning approach and there will also be a Sustainability Appraisal.

The Minerals Development Plan will comprise:

  • Core Strategy
  • Site Specific Allocations and Policies
  • Generic Policies
  • Development Control Policies
  • Reasoned Justification

This Development Plan Document will only cover the administrative area of East Sussex. The time period covered by the Minerals Development Plan Document will be up to 2016.

The Scoping Report below has been prepared for the Sustainability Appraisal. The closing date for comments was 8 July 2005.
