We have extended the closing date for the consultation on the Replacement Essex Minerals Local Plan. It will now close on Tuesday 9 April.
We are required to publish a Minerals Local Plan. This provides policies for minerals development and identifies future sites for mineral extraction.
Councillor Lee Scott, Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Planning a Growing Economy, said:
Public interest in the Replacement Essex Minerals Local Plan has been very high and I’m pleased that we’ve moved to extend the deadline for responses, giving residents longer to feedback on the proposals.
I would once again stress that no decisions on potential sites have been made at this stage and we will take the views of our communities into account as the Replacement Essex Minerals Local Plan is finalised.
Take part in the consultation before Tuesday 9 April.
