Consultation closes on the 31st of July 2026

Lincolnshire County Council are consulting on the proposed submission version of the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan. 

This is a formal consultation and follows earlier consultations in 2022 and 2024 which you can view in the 'previous consultation' section of the website linked below. 

This is your final chance to comment on the emerging Minerals and Waste Local Plan before it is sent to the Secretary of State for independent examination.

The plan is the key decision making document in the delivery of sustainable minerals and waste management for the county of Lincolnshire.

It contains planning policies relating to minerals supply and waste management against which the council will assess planning applications for these types of development.

The plan also allocates sites suitable for quarrying sand and gravel and Lincolnshire Limestone for aggregate purposes to meet the assessed need.

This plan will replace both parts of the current adopted plan and cover the period to 2042.
