Subject: Kent County Council: Minerals and Waste Sites Preferred Options - Consultation Reminder

Dear Consultee,

This email is to remind you that the following Kent Minerals and Waste Development Framework public consultations will close in two weeks on Monday 23 July 2012 at 5pm.


The Mineral Sites and the Waste Sites Plans consultation at this ‘preferred options’ stage is the second time we have asked for your views in the process of preparing these plans. The responses from the 2011 site plans consultations at ‘options’ stage have assisted us in the site assessment and selection process, and are saved as part of the evidence base. Both documents now identify the sites that are considered to be the best and most sustainable sites needed by Kent for minerals and waste management up to the end of 2030. There are now 25 preferred option sites for mineral supply and 21 preferred option sites for waste management. The remaining sites are identified as ‘not allocated’.

We would like your views on these preferred options. The responses received from this second round of consultations will help us with the preparation of the final plans. You are invited to give us your views on:
  1. what these documents should contain;
  2. the proposed preferred option sites for minerals extraction and supply and waste management;
  3. the sites not selected as preferred options;
  4. the evidence base that has been prepared to inform the plans (including the draft Local Aggregate Assessment, the Waste Needs Assessment update, the accompanying Interim Sustainability Appraisal, the Habitat Regulations Assessment, the Strategic Flood Risk Assessments and details explaining how the site assessment process was carried out).

To submit your views we recommend that you use our online consultation portal at http://consult.kent.gov.uk/portal to inspect the consultation documents and evidence base topic papers, and the accompanying Sustainability Assessment Commentary and Habitat Regulations Assessment Report.

If you prefer, you can email your comments to mwdf@kent.gov.uk or write to us at: MWLP Project Team, Planning and Environment, Kent County Council, Invicta House, Maidstone, Kent ME14 1XX. All submitted comments will be published on our online consultation portal.

You can inspect copies of the two main consultation documents at the main Kent County Council offices[2], in Gateways, and in local libraries.

Please contact us at the addresses above or visit our website www.kent.gov.uk/mwdf for further information.

Yours faithfully
