Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan
The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) works in partnership with Hampshire County Council (HCC), Portsmouth City Council (PCC), Southampton City Council (SCC), and the New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA) – collectively known as “the Hampshire Authorities” – on minerals and waste planning policy matters for the part of the National Park that falls within Hampshire.
The Hampshire Authorities have, together, prepared and adopted:
The HMWP was adopted by the Hampshire Authorities in July 2026 and covers the period up to 2040.
The HMWP is used by the Authorities in the determination of planning applications for minerals extraction, waste management activities, and the safeguarding of minerals and waste infrastructure, in the part of the National Park that falls within Hampshire.
The HMWP – together with the Adoption Statement, Policies Map, Background Documents, Inspector’s Report, Monitoring Reports, Local Aggregate Assessments, Safeguarded Sites List, and Minerals and Waste Local Development Scheme – can be viewed on the Hampshire County Council (HCC) website.
