UPDATE
Surrey Minerals Plan
Amendments to core strategy
March 2008

The Surrey Minerals Plan identifying preferred options (including Watersplash Farm) was published in April 2006.

The Government has now decided that this plan should include other non-aggregate minerals.

Because of this new requirement, the date for submission of the draft plan has been put back and the overall timeframe for the Plan is to be revised.

The life of the Minerals Plan (MWDS) is now intended to extend to at least 2020 (originally published as 2016).

It is suggested that Surrey’s sand and gravel is likely to be reduced but that all preferred areas are to be retained for the present.

The revised plan will now be submitted to the Government in July 2009.

Public examination by independent inspector is scheduled for February 2010 and adoption of the Minerals Plan in September 2010. 
 
SSAGE will continue to oppose the inclusion of Watersplash Farm in the Plan at the public examination and will object to any planning application made in connection with the site.

  Further information is available on the SCC website, www.surreycc.gov.uk/mineralsplan

SSAGE would like to thank the residents of Sunbury and Shepperton who have contributed their time and energy to the campaign.   In particular, the members of the SSAGE committee and LOSRA.
