Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92416

Received: 10/08/2018

Respondent: Cllr M Kiddle-Morris

Representation Summary:

MIN08: This site should not be allocated for the same reasons as given for MIN51 & MIN13 as follows: There is no mention in the initial assessment of a processing plant, any on site plant would mean the close proximity of 2 such plants. If MIN12 were to be allocated as well as MIN 13, MIN 51 or MIN 08 the cumulative impact on the area would be unacceptable.

Full text:

MIN12: MIN12 is a third extension to an existing quarry situated to the north of Rawhall Lane. The existing conveyor system can be extended to transport the extracted sand and gravel to the processing plant at the original quarry site, all HGV movements would be from the processing plant on Rawhall Lane. Reserves indicate that MIN12 could be operated until 2036 and if adequate mitigation measures were put in place extraction at the site would have little or no additional impact than that already experienced in Beetley.
I agree with the initial conclusion.

MIN51 & MIN 13: The proposer of the site has indicated a potential start date for extraction at these sites of 2020. There is no mention in the initial assessment of a processing plant, any on site plant would mean the close proximity of 2 such plants. If MIN12 were to be allocated as well as these 2 sites the cumulative impact on the area would be unacceptable.
I disagree with the initial conclusion.

MIN08: This site should not be allocated for the same reasons as given for MIN51 & MIN13 above.

MIN23: The allocation of this site would be unacceptable for the reason given in the assessment.
I agree with the initial conclusion.
