CPRE Sussex responds to Waste & Minerals Plan consultation

3rd August 2020

East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove Council and the South Downs National Park Authority have been consulting on a planned update of their joint Waste & Minerals Plan, that dates back to 2013.

CPRE Sussex has responded to that consultation draft update.  Our key points are that:

  •  the Draft Plan does not provide the required protection of protected landscapes
  •  Climate Change Policy WMP24 is no longer fit for purpose.  In order to remain sound, it requires up-dating to reflect the Authorities’ obligations to contribute to achieving national and your own local net zero emissions targets. We provide a detailed rationale and suggestions as to how the Plan’s current climate change policy needs reform to respond to the climate change emergency recognised by all three Authorities.
