Suffolk County Council is inviting landowners, operators and agents to put forward sites for consideration through its Minerals and Waste Plan Call for Sites, with submissions open until 23:59 on 14th December 2026.

The Council is seeking land that could potentially accommodate:

• Mineral extraction, including sand and gravel, soft sand, chalk and clay
• Minerals infrastructure, such as aggregate processing, concrete batching, recycling facilities, wharves and rail depots
• Waste management uses, including recycling, waste transfer, composting, anaerobic digestion, energy recovery and landfill

Based on our discussion with the Council’s Planning Policy Team, there may be particular opportunities to identify rural sites with viable sand/gravel resources and suitable highway access.

Not sure whether your land has potential? An initial review of its location, access, surrounding land uses and potential mineral resource through our Planning Clinic can help establish whether it may be worth putting forward.

If you own or manage land that you think could be suitable, please get in touch with our team: advice@waypointplanning.co.uk –  01284 700727
