The Minerals Site Allocations document will identify specific sites for mineral working and other minerals development for the period to 2030, and will set out detailed policies for management of development of those sites. It will follow on from the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy.
Work is not currently being progressed on the Minerals Site Allocations document. A timetable for completion of the document will be decided after the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy has been examined. Minerals and Waste Site Allocations may be combined in a single document.
Site selection methodology
This was published in 2006, and sets out an assessment process for identifying sites to be included in the Minerals Sites document.
This assessment methodology for minerals sites will be reviewed when work is resumed on the Minerals Site Allocation document, taking into account latest government policy and guidance, as well as feedback from previous consultations. It is included here for information only.
Issues and options - consultation on minerals sites
In April 2007 we published an initial long list of possible sites for mineral development for consultation in the Minerals Sites Proposals and Policies: Issues and Options paper. The document also identified possible areas of potential aggregate extraction, sites for secondary and recycled aggregate production and potential rail depots.
We sought information about these sites to help in assessing their suitability for development. We also wanted to hear about any other site options there may be.

Site options
We invited industry, landowners and interested parties to nominate sites to be considered for inclusion in the Minerals Sites Document, by 30 January 2009 (but we have continued to accept nominations). A longer list of possible minerals site options, including a number of sites that have been identified by County Council officers, is also available (below).
At this stage all sites listed are possible options, not proposals, and will be the subject of more detailed assessment in due course.
Site nomination forms
We asked for site nominations to be submitted by January 2009, but we have continued to accept nominations. Anyone considering making a further site nomination should speak first to the Minerals and Waste Policy Team.
