Minutes:

The Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 (MS) was adopted more than five years ago, and as required by the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 it has been assessed to determine whether a formal full (the whole document) or partial (only selected policies) Review was required. 

A number of external factors were identified which were likely to have an impact on the market for minerals and the ongoing use and implementation of the Minerals Strategy.  Particularly relevant is the adoption of the Mineral Sites Plan 2019 at the end of 2019.  The Mineral Sites Plan 2019 complement the Minerals Strategy, and contributed to delivering the mineral strategies.  It was considered that these two Plans needed time to be implemented together, without making any changes to the MS.   All policies would continue to be monitored.

It was considered that although the Minerals Strategy was over five years old, the most appropriate action would be to continue monitoring its policies, and to repeat the assessment in 2021.
