Minerals Development Plan Document (DPD) and Sustainability Appraisal (SA). Examination in Public (EiP)

On Monday 19 March 2012, the London Borough of Redbridge submitted the Minerals Development Plan Document (DPD) and Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to the Secretary of State. The DPD and SA will form part of the Redbridge Local Development Framework (LDF), following an Examination in Public (EiP). The EiP will be chaired by a Planning Inspector appointed by the Government, as set out under section 20 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

The Secretary of State has appointed Mr Geoffrey Hill BSc DipTP MRTPI as the independent Inspector to conduct the examination.

These Minerals Development Plan Examination pages are hosted by, but independent of the London Borough of Redbridge

The purpose and aim of the Minerals Development Plan Document is to provide a framework for minerals extraction through site allocation and safeguarding of minerals resources. This will enable the borough to continue contributing to the supply of minerals to meet the anticipated needs of the London economy in a sustainable manner, taking account of the apportioned volume of aggregates set out in the Mayor’s London Plan. The apportioned figure for Redbridge is 100,000 tonnes per annum.

The Submission Development Plan Document (DPD) contains detailed and specified policies and the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) aims to address the requirement for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) under European Union Directive 2001/42/EC, and the requirement for SA under Section 19 (5) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as well as the requirement to contribute to sustainable development under section 39 of the same Act.

For any further information on the submission stage of the DPD please contact the Programme Officer Laki Begum on 0208 708 2059 or email at Laki.begum@redbridge.gov.uk.

All comments received as part of the consultation process will be considered by the Inspector and taken into account when making his decision.
