Waste and Minerals Core Strategy

The City Council is currently preparing a joint 'Waste and Minerals Core Strategy' with East Sussex County Council. Once adopted this strategy will provide the Councils' planning policy for development related to waste management and minerals production to 2026.

On 15th October a six weeks public consultation on a 'Preferred Strategy' was agreed which sets out the Councils' preferred approaches, providing an opportunity for public comments. The intention is that, when complete, the Core Strategy will have considered the views of communities and other key stakeholders such as the waste and minerals industry and statutory environmental bodies. It is intended that this consultation will significantly assist with meeting this objective.

This consultation runs from Wednesday 21 October and will complete on 2 December 2009.

A consultation website has been established to allow documentation to be viewed and comments to be made on-line. The address of the consultation website is http://consult.eastsussex.gov.uk Documentation will also be available for inspection in Members Rooms, main city libraries and city direct centres from today.

During the consultation period there will be 2 exhibitions in the city as follows:

Brighton: Monday 16 November to Sunday 22 November at Jubilee Library, Jubilee Street, Brighton;

Hove: Monday 23 November to Sunday 29 November at Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove. Please note, staff members will be present at this Hove exhibition on Wednesday 11 November between 10am and 8pm at Hove Town Hall, 1st Floor Landing area, Norton Road, Hove, BN3 3BQ to take questions.
