This section does not specifically mention the need to conserve minerals as a natural resource. For Rother District this includes clay, gypsum and aggregates. To underline this omission the key indicators for this section are concerned with water, energy and the use of brownfield land.

It should be made clear that the core strategy has a significant role in minimising construction waste and the recycling of materials.

Moreover, it is not clear how the Core Strategy has taken into account the RPG9 and it s requirements for local planning authorities to support the delivery of effective waste management and the prudent management of mineral resources
Given the requirements of the RSS the strategy should be amended accordingly.
