SAVED POLICIES
Under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, policies in Local Plans are saved until 27th September 2007. The Council's Executive Board considered a report on the 19th December 2006 in respect of which policies the Council should ask the Secretary of State to save. Following this, the District Council made a request to the Secretary of State to save the agreed policies.
The Council has now been formally notified of which policies are saved. A schedule of the saved policies is available below.

Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan
The Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plans were produced by Leicestershire County Council. As a result of reforms introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Minerals and Waste Local Plans will each be replaced by a suite of development documents contained in new Minerals and Waste Development Frameworks. As the new documents emerge the existing Mineral Local Plan and Waste Local Plan will be replaced.
The County Councils website has all of the latest Minerals and Waste Development Policy Documents and can be accessed here.
