THERE will be no new quarries in Wokingham borough following the adoption of a new Central & Eastern Berkshire Joint Minerals & Waste Plan.
Cllr Lindsay Ferris, the executive member for planning and the local plan, told a meeting of Wokingham Borough Council held on Thursday, January 19, that it had been in development since 2017.
“There are no proposed new minerals or waste allocations in Wokingham Borough in this Join Plan, but there are several others in the wider plan area,” he said.
He highlighted two areas: Brookside Business Park in Swallowfield had been removed as a preferred waste area, while Star Works in Knowl Hill was safeguarded for waste uses as an existing operational site.
