Dorset’s minerals and waste plans allow us to decide how much mineral should be produced over the next 15 to 20 years and where the best locations with least impacts are. They also help us to ensure that our waste is managed in the safest and most sustainable way possible. 

Producing minerals and managing waste can have impacts on local communities. Having up to date plans will help to minimise impacts. 

Our mineral and waste plans are out of date and need to be reviewed and updated. 

Minerals and waste consultation

Tell us what you think the plan review needs to include to protect local communities and the environment. The consultation will close on 25 November.
