Minerals Plan
Serving the need for minerals within Worcestershire
Building a Strong Foundation for Success
Worcestershire County Council (WCC) is the Mineral Planning Authority for making decisions on planning applications for mineral development in Worcestershire. It is also responsible for receiving and assessing potential new sites promoted for mineral extraction within its Development Plan Documents.
Worcestershire County Council are charged with ensuring a 7-year Land Bank of mineral supply. The proposed development will help the Council meet and maintain the 7-year Land bank.
Existing sources of sand and gravel are generally located within the south and west of the county.
Minerals have a wide variety of uses, including road building and repairs, infrastructure projects, house building, and leisure and sports purposes (pitches, golf courses). They are a fundamental element in the maintenance of existing and new development.
The closest county sand and gravel quarry to Kidderminster is Clifton Quarry, located circa. 24 miles away. Solid sand / sandstone sources are located and permitted at Wildmoor Quarry, located circa. 10 miles east of Kidderminster.
The Plan illustrates the location of active sand and gravel quarries, as well as solid sand quarries within the county, together with known promoted sites.
