East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Local Aggregate Assessment December 2017 East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove, Local Aggregate Assessment, December 2017 NOTE In September 2017 East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority commenced a Review of their Waste and Minerals Local Plan. This year's LAA has been drafted for consideration by SEEAWP before the end of the consultation period for the Call for Evidence and Sites. In addition, adoption of the LAA is planned before formal consideration of the responses to the Call for Evidence and Sites. It would not therefore be appropriate to pre-empt possible changes in aggregate supply in this document and so discussion of future demand and supply scenarios will not be included. These details will be assessed at the next stage of the Waste and Minerals Local Plan Review process in 2018.
