The authorities have reviewed some of the policies in the adopted Waste and Minerals Local Plan.
On 13 May 2022, the authorities submitted the 'East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste and Minerals Local Plan - Revised Policies' to the Secretary of State for Public Examination. The Examination Inspectors’ Report was issued on 4 April 2024 and concluded that, subject to modifications, the Revised Policies are sound and can be adopted.
The Revised Policies were adopted at full council in October 2024. They now form part of the city's development plan.
You can also get more information including the Inspectors' Report, on the East Sussex County Council website.
