Draft Regulation 18 Sandwell Local Plan

Ended on the 18 December 2023

(1) APPENDIX F - Minerals

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The Council will safeguard all existing mineral infrastructure sites from inappropriate development – this being necessary to retain existing capacity, and thereby helping to make best use of and conserve its resources.
  4. The locations of these mineral infrastructure sites are identified on the Policies Plan, and are listed in the following tables:
