Issue details

Soft Sand Review - Issues and Options Consultation (Regulation 18 stage)

The County Council, in partnership with the South Downs National Park Authority, is required to undertake a single issue Soft Sand Review of the West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (JMLP).  The timetable to undertake the Review is set out in the County Council’s approved Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (the statutory management plan).  Informal public consultation (Regulation 18) is timetabled to take place during January–March 2019.

 

The Review will consider the demand and supply of soft sand required during the plan period (to 2033), and how this demand will be met, including the potential need for site allocations.  An Issues and Options consultation document will seek the views on the options for meeting the demand for soft sand.  The results of the consultation, and further technical work, will inform the preparation of the Proposed Submission Draft document, which will identify the proposed changes to the relevant sections of the JMLP.
