Trent and Tame River Valleys

How Minerals Local Plans can help give nature a home on a landscape scale in the Trent and Tame River Valleys. The Trent and Tame River Valleys will once again be one of Britain’s greatest wetlands, providing a wetland artery for wildlife, flowing from source to sea in an attractive, multi- functional and inspiring landscape loved and valued by all.

Newark to South Clifton Concept Plan

The Trent and Tame River Valleys will once again be one of the great British wetlands, providing a wetland artery for wildlife in an attractive, multi-functional and inspiring landscape loved and valued by all. The Trent Valley, between Newark and South Clifton, will be the “crown jewel” of this wetland landscape.

Positive planning for nature after minerals

From dragonflies to marsh harriers, otters to orchids, many mineral sites are outstanding places for wildlife. But by working together, mineral planners, mineral operators and conservation organisations can do even more to bring mineral sites to life for people and wildlife.

Stakeholder engagement

Engagement with local communities, conservation groups and other stakeholders is a key part of the planning process for new mineral extractions.
