As a County Council, we have to plan for how the waste produced in Norfolk is dealt with, and also for how much mineral extraction is needed. We want to plan for minerals extraction and associated development and waste management facilities in a way that minimises adverse impacts and maximises potential positive impacts. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced a fundamental reform of the Planning System that requires Norfolk County Council to replace the existing land use Development Plan System (consisting of Structure Plans and Local Plans) with a new Local Development Frameworks (LDF) system.
The Local Development Framework (LDF) is a suite of documents which together will guide mineral and waste development within Norfolk. An interactive guide to the new Local Development Framework system is available on the government's Planning Portal website. This explains the concept behind Local Development Frameworks and the roles of the various documents within them.
The Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework consists of the following documents which can be accessed by clicking on the links below:
• Development Plan Documents (DPD)
• Annual Monitoring Reports (AMR)
Minerals Site Specific Allocations DPD and Waste Site Specific Allocations DPD update – April 2010
During the consultation on the Further Issues and Options (Preferred Options) a number of changes to proposed minerals and waste sites have been made; also some new mineral and waste sites were proposed during the consultation. A summary of these sites including boundaries can be viewed by clicking the links below.
