The five local authorities in the Tees Valley - Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - have prepared joint development plan documents (DPDs) to set out planning policies and site allocations on minerals and waste developments until 2026. The DPDs were adopted on the 15th September 2011.
The Minerals and Waste Core Strategy DPD contains the long-term spatial vision and strategic policies for minerals and waste developments.
The Minerals and Waste Policies and Sites DPD identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and provides policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications.
