Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan - update

Overview

Hampshire County Council and its partner Authorities, Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, New Forest National Park Authority and South Downs National Park Authority (collectively known as the Hampshire Authorities), are working to produce an update to the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan 2013 ('the Plan') which will guide minerals and waste decision making in the Plan area up until 2040.

The update to the Plan builds upon the currently adopted Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (2013), providing new and updated policies based on up-to-date evidence of the current levels of provision for minerals and waste facilities in the Plan area. Importantly, the updated Plan establishes the future levels of provision required to meet national and regional policy targets and objectives. It sets out an updated vision of how this will be achieved and provides details of strategic sites that will deliver the vision.
