As the Minerals and Waste Planning Authority (MWPA), Surrey County Council has a statutory obligation to plan for a steady and adequate supply of minerals and enough facilities to manage waste arising in the county. These are strategically important issues that have local and regional cross-boundary implications. The MWPA also seeks to ensure that the impacts of minerals and waste management development in the county are controlled to acceptable levels and opportunities to grow Surrey's economy, address health inequalities, enable a greener future and empower thriving communities are maximised.
