CSM 12: Sustainable Transport of Minerals

Planning permission for any new wharf and rail depot importation operations, or for wharves and rail depots that have been operational in the past (having since fallen out of use), that includes the transport of the minerals by sustainable means (i.e. sea, river or rail) as the dominant mode of transport will be granted planning permission, where:

  • they are well located in relation to the Key Arterial Routes across Kent and
  • the proposals are compatible with other local employment and regeneration policies set out in the development plan.
