Policies Map

Adopted in October 2013, the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan policies map shows where mineral resources and waste management facilities are located and protected across Hampshire, including Portsmouth and Southampton, and in relation to the New Forest and South Downs National Parks. It identifies mineral safeguarding areas for clay and different types of sand and gravel, plus potential mineral and waste wharves. It also maps safeguarded sites such as quarries, chalk pits, oil and gas sites, aggregate recycling sites, concrete and asphalt plants, rail depots, wharves, household waste recycling centres, material recovery facilities, composting sites, waste transfer stations, metal recycling sites, energy recovery facilities, landfills, and liquid waste treatment locations. Proposed sites and inset maps are highlighted, along with major roads and railways.
