Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment regarding an overview of the 2018 Review of the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan.

The Committee received an information report from the Head of Strategic Transport regarding the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan review.

The review had been done in conjunction with Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, South Downs National Park and New Forest National Park and collated five years worth of data.

Members learned that some supply targets were not being met; for example silica sand and brick makings clay/chalk, but policies were enabling and gave opportunity for more sites to come forward in future.

Whilst there were some areas marked for review, there were no issues that needed to be urgently addressed before a further review in 2020.

A workshop event was scheduled for the 25 September 2019, which Member were welcome to attend.

The Committee thanked officers for their work with the review.
