The Executive of Lincolnshire Council met on Tuesday 9 June 2026, approving a new Minerals and Waste Local Plan, adopting a Local Nature Recovery Strategy, and endorsing a Children in Care and Care Leavers Strategy. The meeting also saw the approval of a contract extension for the Housing Related Support Service, the adoption of the Council Plan Performance Framework for 2026, and appointments to various outside bodies.
Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Proposed Submission Draft
The Executive approved the publication of the Proposed Submission Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan (LMWLP) for consultation. This plan, which covers the period up to 2042, sets out policies for minerals supply and waste management and allocates sites for sand, gravel, and limestone extraction. The decision also delegates authority to the Head of Planning, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Environment, to make non-material modifications and determine any necessary modifications arising from the consultation and examination process. The LMWLP will be recommended to Full Council for submission to the Secretary of State.
Local Nature Recovery Strategy
The Greater Lincolnshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) was adopted by the Executive. This strategy, a requirement of the Environment Act 2021, identifies priorities for nature recovery, maps valuable natural areas, and proposes actions for habitat creation and restoration across Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire. The Executive delegated authority to the Executive Director of Place, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Environment, to make minor amendments prior to publication.
Children in Care and Care Leavers Strategy 2026-29
The Executive approved the refreshed Children in Care and Care Leavers Strategy 2026-29
. This strategy outlines how Lincolnshire County Council will continue to fulfil its role as a corporate parent
to children in care and care leavers up to the age of 25. The strategy focuses on improving outcomes through priorities such as safety and stability, health and wellbeing, education and attainment, voice and participation, preparation for independence, and positive identity and relationships.
Housing Related Support Service Contract Extension
The Executive approved a four-month extension to the Housing Related Support Service contract, from 1 April 2027 to 31 July 2027, at a value of £734,000. This extension is to allow time for discussions with District Councils regarding potential joint funding options for the service, which supports vulnerable adults with mental health and/or substance use issues who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Authority was delegated to the Executive Director for Adult Care and Community Wellbeing to finalise the extension terms.
Council Plan Performance Framework 2026
The Council Plan Performance Framework 2026 was approved by the Executive. This framework details how the Council's commitments, outlined in the Council Plan 2026-2031, will be measured and reported on. It combines performance indicators and key delivery activities, with reporting to be conducted quarterly and an annual review to ensure relevance. The framework includes targeted measures assessed as exceeding, achieving, or not achieving, alongside contextual measures and RAG ratings for activities.
Appointment to Outside Bodies
The Executive approved appointments to various outside bodies for the forthcoming year, as listed in Appendix A of the reports pack. This included appointments to bodies such as the County Councils Network, East Midlands Councils, the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority, and the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership. A new appointment was made to the Skegness Neighbourhood Board, and the body Water Resources East was removed from the list of those requiring representation. The decision on substitutes for the Local Government Association General Assembly was noted as pending confirmation.
