As the Minerals and Waste Planning Authority (MWPA), Surrey County Council plans for a steady and adequate supply of minerals and enough facilities to manage waste arising in the county.
In doing so, the MWPA must ensure that the impacts of mineral working and waste management are controlled to acceptable levels and opportunities to grow Surrey's economy, address health inequalities, enable a greener future, and empower thriving communities are maximised.
The MWPA's development plan documents provide a land-use policy framework for mineral extraction and waste management in Surrey. For a full list of existing plans and documents which guide minerals and waste planning in Surrey, see the existing minerals plan and existing waste plan.
