Minerals and Waste Planning in Lancashire

Lancashire County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Blackpool Borough Council, are in the early stages of preparing a Joint Minerals and Waste Development Framework.

When it eventually replaces the existing Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2006, the Joint Minerals and Waste Development Framework (MWDF) will set out a strategy for future minerals and waste development.The MWDF will focus on issues such as:

• mineral extraction
• waste management and recycling
• protecting mineral resources
• restoring minerals and waste sites

The MWDF is a ‘folder’ or collection of individual documents known as Local Development Documents. These will collectively deliver the strategy and planning policies for minerals and waste development within The Joint Plan area.
