Local development framework

North Yorkshire County Council, as the minerals and waste planning authority for the parts of the County outside the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorks Moors National Parks, has a statutory duty to prepare a Minerals and Waste Development Framework (MWDF), containing proposals and policies to guide minerals and waste planning decisions. In due course, the policies and proposals will replace the County Council's current Minerals and Waste Local Plans saved policies.

District or borough council service - Local development framework

North Yorkshire County Council is responsible for producing a Minerals and Waste Development Framework for the County of North Yorkshire. The District and Boroughs within the county are responsible for producing their own local development frameworks relating to planning issues other than minerals and waste.

The minerals and waste development framework is a collection of planning policy documents which, together, will set out a local basis for minerals and waste planning over the plan area.

Proposed structure

The proposed structure of the minerals and waste development framework for North Yorkshire is summarised below.

The proposed structure of the minerals and waste development framework for North Yorkshire

The first document the council is producing is the minerals core strategy. More details on the minerals core strategy are available by following the link at the right hand site of the page. Thee council has already produced a number of initial MWDF documents, some of which have been formally adopted. Details of these documents are listed below.

Progress update

A revised minerals and waste development scheme has been submitted to the Government Office for Yorkshire and Humber on 10 March 2010 and came into effect on 7 April 2010, this document sets out a summary project plan to guide preparation of the MWDF.

The Minerals Core Strategy First Consultation stage which ran from 18th April to 28th May 2010 has now closed. In addition, the initial consultation on the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report (SA), the approach to Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) and a Sites & Areas Assessment Methodology which ran from 18th June to 30 July has also closed. Thank you to everyone who responded and we will take these views into account when developing the next stage in the production of our Minerals and Waste Development Framework.

Evidence base
The emerging Minerals and Waste Development Framework documents such as the Minerals and Waste Core Strategies must be based on evidence. Evidence is important to help demonstrate that planning policy documents are based around relevant issues to be addressed and can be justified. Evidence can also help demonstrate the commitment or acceptance of other stakeholders to the plan.

Minerals core strategy
The purpose of the Minerals Core Strategy is to set out a new approach to minerals development, such as quarrying and mineral processing, within the North Yorkshire Minerals and Waste Development Framework (MWDF) plan area (those parts of the County outside the Yorkshire Dale and North York Moors National Parks).
