Consultation has concluded

Derby City Council is working with Derbyshire County Council to prepare a new Joint Minerals Local Plan (MLP) for Derbyshire and Derby. Derbyshire County Council leads on the preparation of the Plan with support from Derby City Council.

The Plan will set out priorities for delivering sustainable minerals development through its vision and strategic objectives. This plan will cover the period to 2038 and, when adopted, will replace the saved polices in the adopted Minerals Local Plan 2000 (incorporating First Alteration: Coal - 2002).

A significant amount of work and consultation has already been undertaken to developPhotograph of excavators in quarry the MLP, culminating in consultation on a full draft plan in March/April 2022. Responses to this have informed the development of this Publication Plan which is itself now being consulted on for a period of 8 weeks, from 7 March 2023. This Publication Plan, also known as the Pre-Submission Plan, will then be Submitted to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for independent Examination.

Whilst there are no sites proposed for Mineral working in Derby City itself we welcome your feedback on the Publication Plan. Please visit the Derbyshire consultation pages (external link) to view documents and submit your comments to planning.wastemin@derbyshire.gov.uk or in writing to:
