We have not had the capacity to analyse this policy and will reserve comment; other than to emphasise that minerals policy must be compatible with the Council’s climate targets; and we recommend that this should be incorporated into SP12(4) along the following lines:
Seek to ensure that the provision of new minerals development (including hydrocarbons) meets key environmental criteria, protects human and natural resources, and is compatible with the aim of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2038.
