Derbyshire & Derby Joint Minerals Local Plan - consultation on a draft plan

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 as appropriate.

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 has already been undertaken on developing the MLP, including several consultations which have informed the development of the current draft, which for the first time makes available a full set of policies and proposals in a single document.

We will be consulting on this for 8 weeks, from 2 March 2022 and the results of this will be used to finalise the plan for formal Publication later this year and for independent Examination in 2023.

Whilst there are no sites proposed for Mineral working in Derby City itself we welcome your feedback on the draft plan, please read the Derbyshire and Derby Minerals Local Plan document and submit your comments to planning.wastemin@derbyshire.gov.uk or in writing to:
