8 Recycling Facilities on Mineral Sites

The County Council will support proposals for facilities in appropriate locations for recycling/reprocessing materials for use as secondary or recycled aggregates.

Proposals which seek to use mineral sites and associated plant for recycling and/or reprocessing imported secondary and recyclable materials for use as aggregates will be permitted where:

  1. they do not cause significant adverse impacts to local communities, by way of visual intrusion, noise, dust and transport (including to, from, and in and around the site);
  2. the duration of development is appropriate for the location;
  3. they do not prejudice the long-term beneficial restoration of the site.
