Following the rules in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, we confirm that the Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire (2015–2030) was adopted by Staffordshire County Council on 16 February 2017.
The Plan sets out land for mineral extraction and includes planning rules for deciding mineral development applications up to 2030. It replaces the policies from the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan (1994–2006).
An independent Planning Inspector reviewed the Plan and sent a report to Staffordshire County Council on 25 November 2016. The report said the Plan could be adopted if changes were made. The adopted Plan includes these recommended changes.
