4 Applications Outside Preferred Areas
Applications to develop land for aggregate extraction outside of the Preferred Areas will be refused planning permission unless:
- the landbank is below the required level and there is a need for the proposal to maintain the County’s appropriate contribution to local, regional and national need that cannot be met from the identified areas; and
- it can be demonstrated that the proposals would not prejudice the timely working of Preferred areas; or
- the sterilisation of resources will otherwise occur.
