Sandwell Local Plan - Reg 19 Publication
APPENDIX F - Minerals
The Black Country Minerals Study (BCMS, Tables 12.9 and 12.10) lists all known existing mineral sites and mineral infrastructure sites in the Black Country.
Existing Black Country mineral infrastructure sites include secondary / recycled aggregates production, rail-linked aggregates depots, coating plants, ready-mix (RMX) concrete batching plants, manufacture of concrete products, and dry silo mortar (DSM) plants.
The Council will safeguard existing mineral infrastructure sites against inappropriate development – this is necessary to retain existing capacity, thereby helping to make best use of / conserve existing resources.
The locations of these mineral infrastructure sites are identified on the Policies Plan, and are listed in the following tables:
