Minerals
We do, however, consider that the terminology of also supporting mineral extraction, separately from mineral safeguarding operations, within the Mineral Safeguarding Areas is somewhat confusing and does not match the terminology used in the national Planning Practice Guidance of planning for mineral extraction by designating "specific sites", "preferred areas" and "areas of search”.
Worcestershire County Council welcomes future discussions under the Duty to Cooperate on minerals matters.
