Minerals and waste developments have the potential to pollute groundwater, these types of developments should therefore not be located in the most sensitive locations for groundwater. We recommend reference is made to this in policies MIN4 and WST2. See the Environment Agency’s approach to groundwater protection:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachmen t_data/file/692989/Envirnment-Agency-approach-to-groundwater-protection.pdf

It is not appropriate to prohibit minerals and waste development in sensitive groundwater areas. Minerals in particular can only be worked where they are found and so location options for the economically viable and environmentally acceptable extraction of minerals may be limited. As outlined in Policies WST2 and MIN4, minerals and waste development will only be permitted where proposals avoid and/or minimise potentially adverse impacts to acceptable levels. Assessment of the impacts of minerals and waste development on groundwater will be undertaken on a site-by-site basis at the planning application stage.
